Should another device with the tile app installed be in range it sends an anonymous message to the tile owner to inform them of its location.

Tile vs other trackers.

Tiles outside of bluetooth range use a crowd gps concept that searches for other tile users nearby. The tile slim is a credit card sized tracker designed to fit easily in your wallet or purse. Tile on the other hand is waterproof but the battery cannot be replaced and you would need to buy a new device. You can still ring your tile or ring your phone from up to 200 feet away and because it s slimmer and a little lighter it s a breeze to carry around on your keychain or in your bag.

The tile mate is the classic tracker. It also has a replaceable battery option which is better than rather buying a new tracker. It has a range of 200 feet and a battery that should last three years. Read our full tile mate 2020 review.

Tile s trackers are great hardware and since tile has the largest network of devices and users you re more likely to find lost stuff using a tile tracker than with any other company s tracker. As of 2020 there are four tile models.
