What you need to know

Tile is best known for its Bluetooth trackers. You can connect to Tile and use it to keep track of your possessions – the classic example being your keys, for example. But there’s a lot more going on with Tile as the company looks to expand its offering, making it easier to keep track of your possessions or find items you misplace.

These days, there are a ton of excellent options out there if you’re in the market for a Bluetooth tracker — competition is fierce from Apple, Samsung, Chipolo, Pebblebee, and others. Tile remains an industry pioneer, however, and its trackers are still some of the best. Here’s how Tile products function, how Find with Tile works, and everything else you need to know.

What is Tile?

Tile builds tracker products that connect via your smartphone

Tile is a company offering trackers that connect via Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE or BLE), allowing the owner to use a smartphone app to locate those trackers on demand. The company sells a range of different trackers themselves — Tile Pro, Tile Mate, Tile Slim and Tile Sticker — as well as working with other Bluetooth-enabled devices, for example headphones. In the case of headphones, you won’t need a separate Tile tracker for it, the system will run using the device’s native Bluetooth hardware — which is known as Find with Tile, as long as that technology is supported.

There are 40 million Tiles out there (based on 2021 figures) and these users make up the finding network for Tile.
