Tile is a Bluetooth tracking device designed to help you find misplaced items like keys, wallets, and phones. Attach a Tile to your item, then use the Tile app to ring the device, see its location on a map, or utilize the community find feature to locate it if it's out of Bluetooth range. The app also enables you to ring your phone from the Tile device, even when it's on silent.

The accuracy of Tile's tracking depends on Bluetooth signal strength and proximity. Usually, the Bluetooth range is around 150 feet for most Tile devices. If the Tile is out of range, the app shows the last known location on the map. The community find feature helps locate your item by allowing other users' Tile apps to detect your lost Tile.

Yes, Tile can be used without a subscription, allowing you to track, locate, and ring your items. A Tile Premium subscription provides additional features such as Smart Alerts, free battery replacements, and extended warranty, offering greater convenience and peace of mind, especially if you often misplace items.

Most Tile devices are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. They can handle minor splashes or brief water exposure but should not be submerged. Tile devices are also generally durable enough to withstand typical daily wear and tear. It is recommended to check the specific model's specifications for detailed water resistance and durability information.

The Tile community consists of millions of users who assist in locating lost items. When an item is marked as lost in the app, other users' Tile apps will anonymously help search by updating the item's location if within Bluetooth range of their devices. This network greatly enhances the chances of recovering lost items, especially in busy areas.
