Blog - Tile Tips

Your car knows where it is — but do you? This guide breaks down every type of car tracker on the market in 2026 (OBD-II, hardwired, portable) so you can stop Googling and start finding the right fit for your family, your vehicle, and your peace of mind.

The TV remote didn't walk off — it just needs a Tile Sticker. Meet the tiny adhesive Bluetooth tracker that sticks to all the smooth-surfaced stuff a keychain can't grab, and lives on the same Life360 map as your family.

Your keys have ghosted you again. We've all been there. Item trackers fix that — small Bluetooth devices you clip, slip, or stick onto anything worth keeping track of. This guide breaks down how they work, how the major networks (Apple, Google, Tile) compare, and which Life360 Tile tracker fits your situation. Keys, wallet, backpack, laptop — there's a Tile for all of it, and it all shows up on the same map as your family. No extra apps, no switching around.

Tile and Chipolo look similar on the shelf — small, affordable, clip onto your stuff. But they work pretty differently under the hood. This guide breaks down where each one wins: range, volume, battery, network, and price. The short version? iPhone-only households might lean Chipolo for Find My access. Everyone else — especially families already on Life360 — gets more out of Tile. Your keys, your wallet, your people, all on one map. That's hard to beat.

Your wallet's gone. Your keys are MIA. Sound familiar? This guide cuts through the noise on Bluetooth trackers — what to look for, how they actually work, and how the top options (Tile, AirTag, Samsung SmartTag, Moto Tag) stack up. The short version: range, battery, network size, and phone compatibility are what actually matter. And if you're already on Life360, adding a Tile tracker means your stuff shows up right alongside your family. Easy choice.

Lost your keys again? Same. That's why we compared Tile and Tile Pro — so you can stop Googling and start finding your stuff. Tile is compact and budget-friendly at $24.99 with a no-fuss 3-year battery. Tile Pro is louder, reaches farther, and lasts longer with a replaceable battery — worth the extra ten bucks for most people. Both connect to Life360, so your things show up right alongside your people. One less thing to worry about. That's the whole point.

Your keys went missing. Again. If you're weighing whether the Tile Pro is worth it — or how it stacks up against the AirTag and Tile Mate — this review breaks it all down. Range, battery, durability, cost, and which phone it actually works best with. Plus: there's an SOS feature most people don't know about. Here's everything you need to decide if the Tile Pro is the right tracker for you (and your whole family's map).

Lost your phone? That sinking feeling is the worst — but it doesn't have to last long. This guide breaks down five methods that actually work: retracing your steps, using Tile to ring your phone even on silent, Apple's Find My, Google's Find My Device, and Life360 for the whole family. Plus, what your phone needs set up before it goes missing. Because the best time to be ready is before the panic sets in.

Have you ever forgotten where you parked your car? What would you do if your car got stolen? A car tracking device may be the solution you've been looking for.
