<p>If you need a break but unsure about visiting airports, a road trip is probably your safest bet to travel during a pandemic. Here are some tips on how to plan a smooth road trip in 2021.</p>

<p>Since being cooped up during the pandemic, many people have been anxious to get out and travel again now that things are slowly opening back up. But with stricter airport regulations, and the thought of being in an enclosed plane sharing the same air as a few hundred other people, you may still be having second thoughts before hopping on a flight. A road trip is a great alternative and one of the best ways to travel. There’s nothing quite like that sense of fun and excitement you feel in the air when loading up the car, hitting the open road, and setting off on adventures with close friends or family by your side! Plus, you’ll have more autonomy to do whatever you want along the way.  </p><p>Road trips are super versatile because you can make them as long or short as you like, heading wherever your heart desires and visiting the attractions and areas that interest you and your traveling mates the most. But with so many options to consider, planning a road trip can feel like quite a challenge! </p><p>This guide will offer some simple tips for planning a road trip to help you have the best possible time.</p><h2>Plan Your Route</h2><p>One of the most fun things about a road trip is that you can be uber flexible, changing your plan at a moment’s notice and simply seeing where the mood takes you. Even though you may feel more spontaneous than ever, it’s still worthwhile to have a basic plan in mind and know more or less where you’re headed so you can pack and prepare accordingly. </p><p>If you head off without any kind of plan whatsoever, you might end up getting lost or having no clue what to do first or even next. So make sure to chat with friends and family about what you all want to do and make a list or itinerary to give yourself a guide.</p><p>Check out maps and use GPS devices to figure out the right roads to take and the best places to stop along the way, and also to make sure the places you visit are open for visitors again after the pandemic. For example if you’re planning a Route 66 run, be sure to consult a Route 66 map in advance to pick some good places to visit each day. Plus, a map makes a great souvenir! </p><h2>Make a List of Things You Need</h2><p>We get it, packing isn’t the most exciting part of any trip or vacation. It can be pretty dull to spend hours loading up your bags and car when in reality, all you want to do is set off and start enjoying yourself. </p><p>Even though you might not want to do it, packing is just as important to plan for a road trip since you’re going to be visiting a lot of different places, and your car is basically going to become your home base for the days (or weeks!) ahead. Put on some feel-good music, grab a snack,  and make packing fun. Here’s a list of essentials you may want to throw in your suitcase: </p><ul><li><p>Sunglasses and sunscreen </p></li><li><p>Towels </p></li><li><p>Backpack for light traveling during the day </p></li><li><p>2-3 pairs of shoes based on your travel needs (hiking shoes, beach shoes) </p></li><li><p>Phone, tablet, and laptop chargers </p></li><li><p>Headphones (Bose, Skullcandy, Airpods, etc) </p></li><li><p>Snacks, water, and other beverages to stay hydrated </p></li><li><p>First aid kit </p></li><li><p>Vitamins and other medicine you may need in case someone gets car sick </p></li><li><p><a href='/pt-br/products' target='_self'><u>Tiles</u></a> to keep track of all your stuff. </p></li></ul><p>Check out other road trip travel checklists online for more ideas and inspiration of what to pack, and make your own list of all the essentials. </p><h2>Keep Track of Your Stuff with Tile</h2><p>Something you should keep in mind during a road trip is that it can be pretty easy to lose track of your belongings along the way, especially if you’re stopping at a lot of different places. People tend to overpack items when anticipating needs because these kinds of trips can feel a little hectic at times, especially if you’re traveling with kids. You shouldn’t have to worry about misplacing things like phones, car keys, wallets, or your child’s favorite toy while on vacation. </p><p>Have no fear- <a href='/pt-br/products' target='_self'><u>Tile tags</u></a> can help! You can attach Tile tags to your belongings and sync the tags to your phone via Bluetooth to keep track of all your Tiled items near you at all times. This can help make your road trip a lot less stressful by helping you avoid those <q>Where are the car keys!?</q> moments. A simple tap on the Find button via the Life360 app on your phone will ring the item and you’ll be able to hear it wherever it is nearby, even if it’s buried under all those bags. </p><h2>Be Flexible</h2><p>So now you’ve nailed down a loose itinerary, have a plan to pack your bags, and Tiled your most important items. But what else should you keep top of mind? </p><p>When planning a road trip you know you’re in charge, but also being flexible will help you avoid any frustration along the way.</p><p>If you’re traveling with kids and they start to get a little restless along the way, you might want to change your plans for the day and stop off at a local attraction like a zoo or amusement park for a fun-filled family day. </p><p>Or if you’re traveling with friends and someone feels a little sleepy or ill on one of the days, you can adjust to meet their needs, switching up your schedule to try an activity with a more relaxing air, rather than sticking with your original plan. Everyone loves a good beach day! </p><p>Bonus tip: Make sure to pay attention to any COVID rules and restrictions at the places you visit, as some areas and attractions still enforce mask-wearing, social distancing, and so on.</p><h2>Have Fun!</h2><p>The final tip is the simplest and most important of them all: have fun! Road trips are made to be memorable and magical in all the right ways. Many families and groups of friends are able to look back fondly on their road trips for the rest of their lives, and you can do the same.</p><p>Soak in every minute and make the most of your escape from day to day life. We all need a break from the grind every now and then to rest, reset, and get back to who we are. </p><p>Don’t forget to tag us during all your adventures!

<p>If you want to find your lost cell phone fast, look no further than this tracker and app. Locate your phone in moments, with Tile.</p>

<h2><strong>The Best Tracker and App to Find Your Lost Phone</strong></h2><p>Did you know that roughly <a href='https://www.channelpronetwork.com/article/mobile-device-security-startling-statistics-data-loss-and-data-breaches#:~:text=70%20million%20smartphones%20are%20lost,and%2024%20percent%20from%20conferences.' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'>70 million smartphones</a> go missing each year and only 7% of these are recovered? Losing a cellphone can be disastrous. Not only does it have all your private information on it, but it can also be pricey to replace. However, it&#39;s not necessary to panic every time you realize, <q>I can&#39;t find my cellphone!</q> Tile&#39;s Bluetooth tracking provides an easy and convenient way of finding a missing phone.</p><h3><br/><strong>How Tile Works to Locate Your Phone</strong></h3><p>When you&#39;re rushing out the door to work and you realize your phone is missing, you don&#39;t have to be late. Tile&#39;s short-range tracking makes it fast and easy to look for a nearby phone. All you need to do is grab a Tile tracker that&#39;s been synced to your app before. Double-click it, and your phone will start ringing at maximum volume regardless of what volume it&#39;s normally set on. Follow the sound, and you&#39;ll be able to find your phone even if it ended up on top of a high shelf or under a discarded jacket. </p><p>If your phone goes missing farther away from home, Tile is still here to help. As long as you have the Life360 app on your phone, you&#39;ve got a chance of finding your phone again. Instead of worrying about losing priceless photos or paying for a new phone, just log in to Tile from another device. You can tell the app, <q>Find my phone location</q> and see where the phone&#39;s last known location was. This helps you retrace your steps and figure out where your phone might&#39;ve ended up.</p><p>Our app has a few helpful functions specifically for tracking down a missing phone. First of all, you can ring your phone from anywhere. So, if you suspect you left your phone at work, just tell it to ring and ask a co-worker to listen for it. We also let you send a lock-screen message to the missing phone. This makes it easy for a friendly stranger to contact you and tell you they found your phone in the park.</p><p>One of the great things about the Life360 app is that it&#39;s entirely cross-platform. Our Find my Phone app will work on both iOS and Android devices. This means you can use your partner&#39;s iPhone to find your missing Android or use a Windows tablet to track down your iPhone. So, even when you don&#39;t have a Tile tracker nearby to use, the app can still help you locate a lost phone.</p><h3><br/><strong>A Cellphone Finding Tile Tale From Ron</strong></h3><p>One of our customers sent us a great story that illustrates how well Tile works for finding a phone. Ron tended to lose things easily, so his son bought him a few Tiles and attached them to important items. Though Ron went weeks without using the Tiles, they ended up being a total lifesaver. </p><p>After a long day of helping out a friend, Ron was ready to get in his truck and drive home. However, before he could head out, he realized his phone was missing. Ron searched all around his friend&#39;s home and yard but simply could not find his phone. Right as he was about to give up and drive away, he remembered, <q>I can find my lost phone with Tile!</q></p><p>Ron double-pressed the Tile on his keys, and instantly, he heard his phone ring. After following the sound around the dark yard, he realized his phone was actually on the bumper of his truck. Since the truck tailgate covered his phone, he couldn&#39;t see it at all. Without Tile, Ron would&#39;ve driven away and lost his phone for good. Thanks to Tile, he didn&#39;t lose any important information or end up having to pay a lot of money for a replacement.</p><p><br/>You can hear about more fun stories like Ron&#39;s by following us on <a href='https://www.facebook.com/tile' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'>Facebook</a>, <a href='https://twitter.com/TheTileApp' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'>Twitter</a>, or <a href='https://www.instagram.com/tile' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'>Instagram</a>.

<p>Easy steps for recycling your Tile tracker.</p>

<h2>When Does a Tile Need to be Recycled?</h2><p>Your Tile was designed to last through years of regular use (and a little extra wear and tear), but like most hardware, it unfortunately won’t last forever. When your Tile has reached the end of its lifespan--don’t trash it! Tiles are 99% recyclable through your typical e-recycling process. The only thing that can’t be recycled is the battery!</p><p>So, how do you know when it’s time to recycle your Tile? Here’s an easy list that can help you decide if it’s time to retire your old device and replace it with a new one:</p><ul><li><p>When your Tile’s battery is no longer working</p></li><li><p>If the Tile becomes too damaged to use</p></li><li><p>If for some reason your Tile isn’t working quite right, even after contacting customer care</p></li></ul><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong>How to know if your Tile battery is no longer working:</strong></p><p>To check if your Tile has battery power, double press the Tile logo and listen for a series of beeps. If you double press the logo and you don’t hear any sound, your Tile has reached the end of its battery life. If you have a Tile with a replaceable battery, like the Tile Mate (2020) or Tile Pro (2020), replace your Tile’s battery and repeat the test. If you still hear nothing, it’s time to recycle.</p><p>If you have a Tile with a non-replaceable battery, like the Tile Slim (2020) or Tile Sticker (2020), you only need to test the battery once. If you don’t hear any sound when you double press the Tile logo on your Tile device, it’s time to recycle. </p><p><br/><strong>What could make your Tile too damaged to use:</strong></p><p>Your Tile was built <em>tough.</em> This little piece of tech has been put through rigorous testing, including extreme temperatures, drop tests, and even a few rounds in the barrel of a dryer! So, with everyday use, it’s unlikely that your Tile will see much more than a few minor dings. Tough does not equal indestructibiliity, though, so it’s not totally impossible for it to break. We’ve heard tales of Tile customers who’ve dropped their keys off the roof of an apartment building, had their wallet run over by cars on the highway, and even put their Tile trackers through the wash cycle with their laundry! </p><p>Every Tile comes with a standard 1-year warranty in the event of an unlikely manufacturing defect.</p><p>If your Tile is deformed or damaged, we recommend you recycle your Tile and check out the latest styles to replace it, like one of our limited edition designs. </p><p></p><h2>How to Recycle Your Tile</h2><p>Tiles are recyclable at any standard e-waste/e-recycling facility near you. In your search engine of choice, type in <q>e-recycling near me</q> and you’ll be surprised by the number of facilities--and stores--that accept this kind of recycling. Pro Tip: keep a bag of e-waste at home for a convenient 1-stop shop once it’s full. </p><p>If you live near a Best Buy, rejoice! Together, Tile and Best Buy are making it even more convenient to recycle your Tile. Simply bring your Tile to a Best Buy near you for easy drop-off. Best Buy will take up to 3 household items per day for recycling.</p><p></p><h2>Thank You for Recycling</h2><p>Recycling your old Tiles means you&#39;re keeping them out of landfills. This is especially important because consumer electronics require special handling to make sure that hazardous substances -- like heavy metals -- are not dumped into the environment. Thank you for recycling your Tile!</p><p>For more information about how and where to donate or recycle your Tiles, visit the <a href='https://www.epa.gov/recycle/electronics-donation-and-recycling' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'>Electronics Donation and Recycling</a> page at <a href='https://epa.gov/' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'>epa.gov</a>.</p>

How to Recycle Your Tile Tracker

How to Recycle Your Tile Trackers

<p>When you can&#39;t find your pet&#39;s leash, it&#39;s frustrating for you and for them!  Use the Life360 app to turn the leash you already have into a tracking leash!</p>

<h2><strong>The Benefits of Using a Pet Leash Tracker</strong></h2><p>When you tell your dog that it&#39;s time for a walk, a missing leash causes a major problem. No pet owner wants to see the disappointed look on their pup&#39;s face when the promised walk gets delayed. If you want to avoid having to frantically look for your dog&#39;s leash while they wait impatiently, try a Tile pet leash tracker. Our trackers allow you to quickly locate your leash, so you and your furry friend can enjoy your walk.<br/></p><p></p><h2><strong>The Technology Behind Tile&#39;s Leash Tracker</strong></h2><p>The secret behind the Tile pet leash tracker is Bluetooth. This wireless technology seamlessly exchanges data between the tracker and your cell phone. Bluetooth is a little different from cell phone service, so it keeps working even if you don&#39;t have Wi-Fi or data. When your pet leash goes missing, you can open the app and tap <q>Find</q> on your tracker. As long as the tracker is within range, your phone will use Bluetooth to send a signal to the tracker. The tracker will then ring, so you can follow the sound to wherever you absentmindedly set your leash down after the last walk.</p><p>Tile isn&#39;t a standard leash GPS tracker, but we still use some GPS to augment our tracking experience. Any time our tracker is within range of your phone, it will regularly ping your phone. Then your phone&#39;s internal GPS can register its location at the time of the ping, and this information is stored in the Life360 app. When you open the Life360 app, you can view a map with the last registered location of your dog leash. This is helpful when your leash is outside of your phone&#39;s Bluetooth range. You can just open the app, remember, <q>oh, I left it at the dog park,</q> and go to retrieve your leash.</p><p>A final interesting bit of technology is the Tile Network. This software allows every phone running the Life360 app to search for a lost Tile. If you&#39;ve retraced your steps and still can&#39;t find your dog leash, tap the <q>Notify When Found option.</q> All devices in the Tile Network will regularly scan for your pet leash tracker, and when they find it, you&#39;ll get a notification. The Tile Network is carefully designed to always be anonymous. No other user besides you will know your leash is missing, and no one besides you will see the location of your pet leash tracker. This feature can be handy for those days when your leash just seems to vanish into thin air. </p><img src='' alt='' title='' /><h2><strong>Other Things That Pet Owners Track With Tile</strong></h2><p>Using Tile as a pet leash tracker is one of our most popular uses. However, tracking leashes for dogs isn&#39;t your only option. There are all sorts of ways pet owners can use Tile to make their lives easier. Tile trackers come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, so you can put them on anything you regularly lose. </p><p>Does your dog have a frustrating habit of burying their favorite stuffed animal in the yard? Sew a <a href='/pt-br/products/tile-mate' target='_self'>Tile Mate</a> inside the animal to help you track it down. When your pet is always kicking their food bowl under the bed or couch, try sticking a <a href='/pt-br/products/tile-sticker' target='_self'>Tile Sticker</a> on the bottom to help you find it. You can also add a tracker to nail clippers, brushes, or other pet supplies that go missing regularly. All our products are durable and water-resistant, so they stand up to even extremely energetic pets.</p><p>Some pet owners even use Tile to track their pets themselves! By looping a <a href='/pt-br/products/tile-pro' target='_self'>Tile Pro</a> on your pet&#39;s collar, you&#39;ll be able to keep track of their whereabouts. Whether you have a cat that manages to hide in strange places or a dog who runs into your overgrown backyard and refuses to budge, Tile can help you find your furry friend. The ability to ring your Tile makes it easy to locate your pet even when they hide in the strangest of places. And if they do get lost, the Tile Network may be able to help you narrow down their location.</p><p>At Tile, we&#39;re always thinking of more ways to help people organize their lives and avoid the hassle of lost items. If you would like to find the best Tile for you and your pets, browse our online store.

This Pet Leash Tracker Will Be Good for You and Your Pet

<p>It&#39;s always on the rainiest days when you can&#39;t seem to find your umbrella. Use our umbrella finder to track it down at home, school, and more in moments.</p>

<h2><strong>The Benefits of Using an Umbrella Finder</strong></h2><p>When the first raindrop falls from the sky, most people reach for their umbrella. However, they often get misplaced between rainy seasons. A lost umbrella is often a huge inconvenience that leads to ruined hair, damp clothes, and damaged electronics. To stay dry during a storm, you need to make sure you can locate your umbrella with ease. The Tile umbrella finder means you don&#39;t have to worry about getting caught in a rainstorm anymore. We can help you find your umbrella even if it slid under a car seat or got left behind at a restaurant.</p><img src='' alt='' title='' /><h2><strong>Say Goodbye to Hassle on Rainy Days</strong></h2><p>When the weather&#39;s nice, you probably don&#39;t think about your umbrella much. However, when it starts raining, this rarely used device becomes essential. Unfortunately, many people find it hard to keep track of their umbrellas. The average person will lose multiple umbrellas in a lifetime. Furthermore, umbrellas have the frustrating tendency to disappear right when you need them most. You often toss them on the porch or in a closet after using them, and then it&#39;s easy to forget where your umbrella ended up.</p><p>After you finally track one down, you still risk losing it. The problem with umbrellas is that we carry them around, but once we get inside, we don&#39;t use them. This means it&#39;s super easy to leave yours in an umbrella stand at work or in your shopping cart at a store. Even if you always remember to take your umbrella when you leave a place, there&#39;s also the risk of theft. If your umbrella is just sitting in a stand, someone else can easily grab it either intentionally or accidentally. </p><p><br/></p><h2><strong>How Tile Works to Find Your Umbrella</strong></h2><p>If you&#39;re tired of getting drenched in rainstorms, install a Tile umbrella finder on your umbrella. Options like the <a href='/pt-br/products/tile-pro' target='_self'>Tile Pro</a> can be looped onto the latch or rib of your umbrella, or you can stick a <a href='/pt-br/products/tile-sticker' target='_self'>Tile Sticker</a> directly on the handle. To use the tracker, download the Life360 App and sync the tracker to the app. After it&#39;s set up, you can just forget about it until you need it. With batteries lasting one to three years, Tile umbrella trackers keep working through multiple rainy days.</p><p>When you go to step out the door into a downpour and realize your umbrella is nowhere to be found, grab your phone and open the app. Tapping the <q>Find</q> option will ring your Tile. Then you can listen carefully and follow the sound to find your umbrella. Whether it&#39;s bundled up inside an old purse or shoved in the corner of the hall cabinet, the loud ring can lead you to your umbrella. </p><p>Tile&#39;s tracker can also help if your umbrella gets lost while you&#39;re out and about. Any time your missing umbrella is outside the Bluetooth range but should be nearby, start by just walking around. It&#39;s possible you just left it across the office or at the front of a store, so you may be able to move around until you can ring the Tile. Next, take a look on the map and see your Tile&#39;s last known location. This can help remind you of spots you took your umbrella, so you can track it down before the next big storm.</p><p>If your umbrella still hasn&#39;t shown up, turn to the Tile Network. Our Network is basically the world&#39;s biggest lost and found community. Once you mark the item as lost and tap <q>Notify When Found,</q> every device with the Life360 app anonymously scans for your missing umbrella. When a Tile device eventually comes in contact with your umbrella tracker, your app will give you the GPS coordinates for the umbrella without revealing the information to anyone else. Then, you can drive to the spot and try ringing your Tile to find the missing umbrella.</p><p>With our tracker, you don&#39;t have to choose between wasting time looking for your umbrella or arriving at your destination soaking wet. Instead, the Tile tracker helps you quickly and easily locate a misplaced umbrella. If you would like to learn a little more about how our products work, feel free to send questions to our <a href='https://tileteam.zendesk.com/hc/' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'>Help Center.</a> You can also see other great ways to use Tile trackers when you follow us on <a href='https://www.facebook.com/tile' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'>Facebook</a>, <a href='https://twitter.com/TheTileApp' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'>Twitter</a>, and <a href='https://www.instagram.com/tile' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'>Instagram</a>.</p>

<h2>The Benefits of Using a Toy Finder</h2><p>If you&#39;re a busy parent, the last thing you want to hear is your kid yelling, <q>Help, I can&#39;t find my toy!</q> Since kids carry their toys everywhere, treasured animals, cars, balls, and more can easily go missing. As every parent knows, nothing sets a child off more than realizing the toy they want has disappeared. Tired of meltdowns when your child loses their favorite toy?

You start by picking out a Tile tracker that works with your child&#39;s toy. Some parents like the <a href='/pt-br/products/tile-mate' target='_self'><u>Tile Mate</u></a>, which easily loops onto collars, handles, or tags. Others use the <a href='/pt-br/products/tile-sticker' target='_self'><u>Tile Sticker</u></a>, which you can stick directly onto the bottom of a car or the side of a game. Once you have the Tile installed on the toy, download the Life360 app onto your smartphone.</p><p>Whenever the toy goes missing after that, you just need to grab your phone. Select the Tile linked to the toy and tap <q>Find.</q> This instantly makes the Tile ring, so you can track down the toy. With the loud ringer, you can find a toy even if it&#39;s been stuffed under a mattress or put inside a kitchen cabinet.</p><p>It&#39;s also possible to use Tile to find a toy that was left at the park or dropped out a car window. Whenever your child&#39;s toy was lost outside the range of the toy finder, tap the <q>Notify When Found</q> option on the app. This lets other Tile devices scan for your toy anonymously. When the toy comes into contact with another Tile, it&#39;s new location will update in the toy finder app. Then, you can visit the spot, find the toy, and arrange a happy reunion between your child and their beloved toy.</p><h2><strong>Tips on Finding Your Toy From Tile Customers</strong></h2><p>Worried about your kid removing the Tile tracker? B. has a great hack. She recommends doing a little stuffed animal surgery to hide the Tile inside the toy. All you need to do is snip open a seam, insert the Tile, and then use a needle to sew it back up. This 10-minute craft ensures the stuffed animal will always have the Tile.</p><p>Most of our customers use the Tile for stuffed animals, but remember to think outside the box. One customer reports slipping a <a href='/pt-br/products/tile-slim' target='_self'><u>Tile Slim</u></a> inside her son&#39;s Pokémon card binder. Though it&#39;s not a traditional toy, the card binder was constantly getting lost and causing headaches for everyone in the family.

After letting them pick out their favorite ring tone, Ashley lets them play <q>track my toy.</q> Getting to track down the cheerful sound of the Tile turns a lost toy into a fun adventure.</p><p><br/>When you&#39;re ready to simplify your life and keep your kids calm, turn to Tile.

Whether your jacket is a sentimental hoodie or a prized designer coat, it is almost always a favorite piece of clothing. Unfortunately, the fact that we take our jackets everywhere also means they&#39;re easy to lose.<br/><br/>Even when you&#39;re at home, a jacket can end up tossed behind the washing machine or bundled up in a piece of luggage. And when you wear your jacket outside the house, it&#39;s very easy to take it off and leave it behind at the office or at a friend&#39;s house. If your jacket ends up with a bunch of others in a coat check or on a coat rack, someone can end up accidentally grabbing yours instead of theirs.

Then, sync the Tile to the Life360 app, which is available for Androids and iPhones. With Tile batteries that last one to three years, you can just put the tracker in your jacket and forget about it.<br/><br/>When your jacket goes missing, open the Life360 app and tap the <q>find my jacket</q> option. If your jacket is within a few hundred feet of your phone, you&#39;ll hear the Tile ring. Then, you can follow the sound to find your jacket under a couch cushion or in your laundry basket. When your Tile&#39;s outside of Bluetooth range, you can check its last known location to see if you forgot it somewhere like a restaurant or a park bench.<br/><br/>If your jacket&#39;s not where you left it, all you need to do is mark your jacket as lost in the app. This tells everyone&#39;s Tile devices to scan for your jacket, and when one comes in contact with your jacket, your phone will notify you of the updated location. You can travel right to the spot, ring your Tile, and hunt down your lost jacket. And don&#39;t worry about someone else making off with your beloved jacket before you can get there. The Tile Network is entirely anonymous, so no one but you gets this data.<br/><br/>Whether you lose your jacket once in a blue moon or constantly leave it in the most random spots, Tile&#39;s Bluetooth tracking is a reliable and simple way of finding your jacket. Once you have it installed, running late because you couldn&#39;t find your jacket will be a thing of the past.

If not, you might spend 20 or 30 minutes searching for the tool so you can complete the job and go home for the day.<br/><br/>Misplacing a tool isn&#39;t just frustrating—it can also be dangerous if a child or an untrained person finds the tool before you do. And if you lost your tool for good, you might have to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to replace it! Wouldn&#39;t it be easier if you could track your tools with a few quick taps on your smartphone?</p><h2><br/>How Tile&#39;s Tool Tracker Works</h2><h2></h2><div></div><h2></h2><p>To keep track of your tools, you can attach a Tile to every tool in your shop or add one into your tool bag. The <a href='/pt-br/products/tile-sticker' target='_self'>Tile Sticker</a> is an excellent option for a tool tracker thanks to its small size and adhesive backing, giving it the ability to adhere to things right out of the box. <a href='/pt-br/products/tile-pro' target='_self'>Tile Pro</a> is another great, durable option that instead has a keyhole for attaching to things, rather than a sticky back.<br/><br/>Once you&#39;ve attached your Tile to your tool or tool bag, download the free Life360 app on your smartphone and follow the simple instructions to set it up.

This Handy Tool Tracker Will Change The Way You Work

<p>Protect your investment in a drone with Tile&#39;s drone tracker. Easily find it in a tree, tall grass, or anywhere else it may go missing.</p>

<p>A drone can be a very pricey piece of technology, especially when it is outfitted with the latest photographic equipment. If you want to make sure your investment doesn&#39;t end up lost in tall grass or tangled in shrubs, you need a Tile. The right Bluetooth drone tracker makes it easy to track down your drone if it goes missing out of sight.</p><h2><br/>How to Find a Lost Drone With Tile</h2><div></div><p><br/>Are you tired of searching through trees and combing through tall grass and bushes for your drone and the constant worry that it might get lost? Adding a Tile to your drone can save you a lot of hassle and stress later on, so you can focus on having fun. There are several reasons to choose a Tile even if your drone is equipped with GPS.<br/><br/>The <a href='/pt-br/tile-trackers' target='_self'>Tile tracker</a> works with Bluetooth, so it keeps working even when you&#39;re flying your drone in areas without cell service. All of our trackers are water-resistant, so even on rainy days or in marshy areas, the tracker will keep going. And thanks to our ultrasonically welded case, the tracker isn&#39;t even phased by rough landings.<br/><br/>Also, the tracker is equipped with its own long-lasting battery, so you can find your drone long after it&#39;s run out of charge.<br/><br/>To protect your equipment, start by choosing your Tile. Some drone users like how the <a href='/pt-br/products/tile-sticker' target='_self'>Tile Sticker</a> can stick onto any device with ease, while others appreciate the <a href='/pt-br/products/tile-pro' target='_self'>Tile Pro</a> for its long range. After you&#39;ve got your Tile, download the Life360 app, which is available for Android and iOS, and sync the tracker to your account.<br/></p><img src='' alt='' title='' /><p><br/>Once you have the Tile activated, you can fly your drone normally. Since its battery lasts for a year or more, the Tile will keep working through countless drone flights. Any time your drone lands in an area with a lot of vegetation, you don&#39;t have to waste time hunting it down. Instead, you can use the Tile to locate the hidden drone. Just open the app, and tap the <q>Find</q> option for your drone tracker. This will automatically ring your Tile, so you can hear where the drone is even if you can&#39;t see it.<br/><br/>If your drone gets hit with a sudden crosswind and ends up far away from your phone, Tile can still help. When you can&#39;t seem to get into Bluetooth range of your drone, try marking it as lost. This notifies the Tile Network to start searching for your drone. The Tile Network uses all phones with the Life360 app to anonymously scan for the drone tracker. When your tracker comes into range, you get an alert showing you where the Tile&#39;s signal was picked up. Then, you can travel to the area and ring your Tile just like normal. </p><h2><br/>How Tile&#39;s Drone Tracker Works </h2><p>As drones become more popular, we&#39;ve heard from more and more customers who found a lost device with Tile&#39;s drone tracker. Chad L. reported that a solar flare knocked out the onboard GPS and Wi-Fi on his $1,000 drone. When the electronic disruption hit, his drone took off flying in a random direction. Chad ran off after it but lost sight of the speedy drone.<br/><br/>Chad decided to go ahead and report his Tile as lost in the Life360 app. To his surprise, the app instantly reported the Tile as found! It turned out the drone had crashed right in the range of a fellow Tile Network member. He was able to knock on the woman&#39;s door, get permission to check her property, and find his drone quickly.<br/><br/>Brendan W. has a similar story about finding a lost drone with Tile. When he was testing out his brand-new $800 drone, a sudden change in elevation caused him to lose connection. The sun was setting, and he knew his drone had probably run out of battery and grounded itself.<br/><br/>Brendan pulled up the Life360 app and walked around until he was in range. Then, he tapped the <q>Find</q> button to ring his Tile. The loud ringer guided him through the pitch-black forest and down into a gulley where he was able to recover his drone!<br/><br/>As you can see, adding a Tile to a drone ensures that your valuable equipment does not go missing for good. A drone tracker makes it easy to find your drone in cities, forests, mountain ranges, and more!

Messy House? Get Organized And Say Goodbye To Anxiety With These Tips

Tile just launched four new earth tone colors—Seaglass, Clay, Slate, and Blush—designed to blend into your everyday life as naturally as they track your stuff. Inspired by the natural world, the new shades are calm, considered, and available now in Tile and Tile Slim through the Life360 app.

<p>Let&#39;s just say it: most tech accessories look like they belong in a junk drawer.<br/><br/>Not anymore.<br/><br/>Tile just launched four new earth tone colors—<a href='https://www.life360.com/tile-trackers/product/tile-seaglass?icid=blog_earthlines_us' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'><u>Seaglass</u></a>, <a href='https://www.life360.com/tile-trackers/product/tile-clay?icid=blog_earthlines_us' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'><u>Clay</u></a>, <a href='https://www.life360.com/tile-trackers/product/tile-slate?icid=blog_earthlines_us' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'><u>Slate</u></a>, and <a href='https://www.life360.com/tile-trackers/product/tile-blush?icid=blog_earthlines_us' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'><u>Blush</u></a>—and they&#39;re the kind of shades you actually want clipped to your keychain, slipped into your wallet, or tucked in your bag. Down-to-earth colors that are, fittingly, down to track it all.<br/><br/>Same unmatched finding power. A whole new palette.</p><h3><strong><br/>What Are Tile&#39;s New Earth Tone Colors?</strong></h3><p>The new Tile color collection draws its inspiration from the natural world—oceans, mountainsides, sun-baked earth, stone. Each shade is grounded and familiar, the kind of color that feels intentional rather than incidental. No neons. No plastics. No trying too hard. Just four shades that go with your stuff.<br/><br/>Here&#39;s what&#39;s new:<br/><br/><strong>Seaglass</strong> is a muted teal — think sea glass you&#39;d pick up on the beach, not the electric teal of a 2015 phone case. Soft, a little cool, and way more interesting than black on a keychain.<br/><br/><strong>Clay</strong> is warm and earthy — the kind of color that looks like it belongs on a shelf at an expensive ceramics studio. It also happens to look great tucked into a bag or clipped to your keys. Your wallet has never looked this good. (And now it&#39;ll never go missing, either.)<br/><br/><strong>Slate</strong> is a cool, understated gray rooted in stone. If you&#39;ve been waiting for a tracker that doesn&#39;t scream <q>tech accessory,</q> this is it. <br/><br/><strong>Blush</strong> introduces a subtle pink that reads mineral rather than candy-coated. It’s refined — not overly polished. She&#39;s beauty, she&#39;s grace, she knows where your wallet is.<br/><br/>All four colors are available in Tile and <a href='https://www.life360.com/tile-trackers/product/slim-blush?icid=blog_earthlines_us' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'><u>Tile Slim</u></a>. Mix, match, and track everything you love.</p><h3><strong><br/>Why Does Tile Color Actually Matter?</strong></h3><p>Because you carry your Tile everywhere. It&#39;s on your keychain, in your bag, clipped to your luggage. It goes with you to the grocery store, the gym, the airport, your in-laws&#39; house. The things you carry say something about you—and your tracker should, too.<br/><br/>This collection was built on a simple idea: peace of mind shouldn&#39;t have to look ugly.<br/><br/>The shift toward softer, more muted tones isn&#39;t just happening at Tile. It&#39;s a broader move in design and fashion toward palettes that feel calm and cohesive—colors you choose to carry, not just something you need. Tile&#39;s new earth tones fit seamlessly into everyday objects and environments because that&#39;s exactly how they were designed.<br/><br/>Premium. Intentional. Timeless. And yes, still completely capable of finding your keys from across the house.</p><h3><strong><br/>What Can You Track With the New Tile Colors?</strong></h3><p>Everything. That&#39;s kind of the point.<br/><br/>Track your keys (obviously). Your bag. Your wallet. Your luggage. Your backpack. The TV remote. That pricey camera you take everywhere. Your bike. Tile&#39;s Bluetooth range goes up to 350 feet, and the ring is loud enough to hear from the next room. Picking a color? That&#39;s the hard part.<br/><br/>And because <a href='https://apps.apple.com/us/app/life360-stay-connected-safe/id384830320' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'><u>Tile lives inside the Life360 app</u></a>, you&#39;re tracking your stuff right alongside your people and pets—all in one place. One app. Zero wondering. Full peace of mind.</p><h3><strong><br/>The Tile + Life360 Combination: Everything, Tracked</strong></h3><p>Here&#39;s what makes the new Tile colors even better: they work with Life360, the family connection app that keeps your people, pets, and most important things close.<br/><br/>From the <a href='https://www.life360.com/location-sharing?icid=blog_earthlines_us' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'><u>Life360 app</u></a>, you can:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Find your things</strong> — Play a sound on your Tile, or track it down on the map</p></li><li><p><strong>Find your phone</strong> — Use Tile to make your phone ring even when it&#39;s on silent</p></li><li><p><strong>Send an SOS</strong> — Use the SOS button to discreetly send an alert to your Circle</p></li></ul><p>So while your <a href='https://www.life360.com/tile-trackers/product/slim-clay?icid=blog_earthlines_us' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'><u>new Clay</u></a> or <a href='https://www.life360.com/tile-trackers/product/slim-seaglass?icid=blog_earthlines_us' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'><u>Seaglass Tile</u></a> is turning heads, it&#39;s also quietly doing the most important job it&#39;s ever had.</p><h3><strong><br/>How to Choose Your New Tile Color</strong></h3><p>Genuinely can&#39;t pick? Here&#39;s how to think about it.<br/><br/><strong>Seaglass</strong> is for anyone who gravitates toward cooler tones — the kind of person who has a linen everything and probably owns at least one piece of sea glass already. It&#39;s calm-looking without being boring.<br/><br/><strong>Clay</strong> is warm and earthy. If your vibe runs more <q>natural materials and neutral tones</q> than <q>bright pops of color,</q> Clay is going to feel like it was made for you. Also just looks really good against leather.<br/><br/><strong>Slate</strong> is the easy answer if you&#39;re genuinely undecided. Gray sounds boring until you see it — it&#39;s more of a cool stone tone in person, and it goes with literally everything without looking like you just grabbed whatever was closest.<br/><br/><strong>Blush</strong> tends to surprise people. It&#39;s pink, but it&#39;s not <em>pink</em> pink — more like a dusty rose that happens to be attached to a Bluetooth tracker. If you&#39;ve been waiting for tech that doesn&#39;t look like tech, this is the one.<br/><br/>And if you still can&#39;t pick, get two. Your keys and your wallet don&#39;t need to match.</p><h3><strong><br/>Get the New Shades. Keep Track of Everything.</strong></h3><p>Four new colors. The same hard-working tracking. And the peace of mind that comes from knowing your stuff is exactly where it should be.<br/><br/>Earth tones aren&#39;t going away. Neither is your peace of mind.</p><p><a href='https://www.life360.com/tile-trackers/products?icid=blog_earthlines_us' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'><u>Shop the new Tile shades →</u></a></p>

Tile's New Earth Tone Colors Are Here And They Track as Hard as They Trend

New Earth Tone Colors Are Here

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).

<h2>Summary</h2><p><strong>What this article covers:</strong></p><p>A full breakdown of the Tile Pro: what it does well, where it has limits, how it stacks up against the Tile and Apple AirTag, and what is actually the right pick in 2026.</p><h3>Who it’s for</h3><ul><li><p>Android users looking for a durable, long-range Bluetooth tracker</p></li><li><p>Mixed-household families using both iPhone and Android devices</p></li><li><p>Anyone deciding between the Tile Pro and a cheaper Tile option</p></li><li><p>Life360 members w<strong>ho want to get more out of their tracker setup</strong></p></li></ul><h3>Key Takeaways</h3><ul><li><p>The Tile Pro is priced at $34.99 and is Tile&#39;s top-of-the-line Bluetooth tracker.</p></li><li><p>It has a 500-foot Bluetooth range.</p></li><li><p>The user-replaceable battery lasts about a year, unlike embedded-battery models.</p></li><li><p>IP68 rating means it&#39;s dustproof and water resistant up to 1.5 meters.</p></li><li><p>The AirTag has a precision edge for iPhone owners due to the Ultra-Wideband (UWB)</p></li><li><p>The SOS feature is available through the Life360 app, not the standard Tile app.</p></li><li><p>Best fit: Android users, mixed households, and anyone already in the Life360 ecosystem.</p></li></ul><p>Tile has been in the Bluetooth trackers game for a while, and the<a href='https://www.life360.com/tile-trackers/products/tile-pro?icid=blog_tile-pro_us' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'> Tile Pro</a> sits at the top of their lineup. It&#39;s built for people who want more: more Bluetooth range, more durability, and a louder speaker compared to the standard<a href='https://www.life360.com/tile-trackers/products/tile-mate?icid=blog_tile-pro_us' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'> Tile</a>.<br/><br/>At $34.99, it&#39;s Tile&#39;s premium option, designed to help you locate lost items like your keys, bag, wallet, or whatever else tends to disappear at the worst possible moment. It works with both iPhone and Android devices, integrates with the Life360 app, and comes with a user-replaceable battery, so you&#39;re not tossing the whole thing after a year.<br/><br/>Is it worth the upgrade? That depends on who you are and what phone you&#39;re holding. Here&#39;s the full picture.</p><h2>Specs and Design: Built to Last</h2><p>The first thing you notice about the Tile Pro is that it feels solid. Where the Tile is plastic, the Pro has a metal frame. It&#39;s the kind of thing you can clip to your car keys and not worry about.<br/><br/>The rectangular shape makes it easy to tuck into a bag pocket or slip onto a keyring without feeling bulky. There&#39;s a built-in attachment point at the top, so no extra accessories are needed to get it on your keys right out of the box. Unlike some third-party trackers that require a separate holder or case, the Tile Pro is ready to go as-is.<br/><br/>Flip it over and you&#39;ll find a QR code labeled <q>Scan Me If Found.</q> If someone stumbles across your lost keys or bag, they can scan the QR code and get your contact info. It&#39;s a simple but genuinely helpful feature that doesn&#39;t require the finder to have any app installed. Most Bluetooth trackers don&#39;t include anything like this, and it&#39;s a nice touch for real-world recovery situations.<br/><br/>The Tile Pro is water-resistant and boasts an IP68 rating, meaning it can handle submersion up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. The Apple AirTag and Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 are both IP67 certified. Same 30-minute window, slightly shallower depth. Not a huge practical difference day-to-day, but the Tile Pro edges them out on paper.</p><h2>Set-up and the Tile App</h2><p>Getting the Tile Pro running takes less than five minutes. Download the Tile app (available for both iOS and Android), create a free account, and pair your device. That&#39;s it.<br/><br/>You also have the option to use the Life360 app instead of, or alongside, the Tile app. This is where things get more interesting, because the Life360 app is where bonus features like the<a href='https://support.life360.com/hc/en-us/articles/23053474049687-SOS-Alerts?icid=blog_tile-pro_us' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'> SOS feature</a> and<a href='https://support.life360.com/hc/en-us/articles/32278668390039-Smart-Alerts-in-the-Life360-app?icid=blog_tile-pro_us' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'> Smart Alerts</a> live. More on those in a moment.<br/><br/>Once it&#39;s set up, the app displays Tile&#39;s location data on a map showing your tiled item&#39;s last known position. One important thing to understand: this is not real-time tracking. The Tile Pro is a Bluetooth tracker, not a GPS device. Location data updates when your Tile comes within range of another Tile or Life360 app user, so what pops up on the map is the most recent location it was detected, not necessarily where it sits right this second.<br/><br/>For most everyday use cases, like finding lost items or locating a missing bag, this is totally fine. Just good to know going in. If you need real-time tracking for a pet or a family member, that&#39;s where the Life360 app&#39;s GPS features come in.<br/><br/>It&#39;s also worth noting that older versions of the Tile app may have fewer features than the current release. Keeping the app updated ensures you&#39;re getting the full experience.</p><h2>The Tile Network: How Lost Items Get Found Beyond Bluetooth Range</h2><p>Here&#39;s where the Tile ecosystem really earns its keep.<br/><br/>When your Tile Pro is beyond your personal Bluetooth range, it relies on the Tile Network, a tracking network built on the collective reach of Tile users and Life360 members. Any nearby device running the Tile or Life360 app will anonymously detect your tracker&#39;s signal and relay its location back to you. Nobody gets notified that they helped. It happens quietly in the background.<br/><br/>Life360 reports over 70 million users, which means there&#39;s a large device network of phones passively helping locate lost Tiles every day. That&#39;s a real advantage over smaller or newer Bluetooth trackers that are still building their user base.<br/><br/>The honest caveat: the network works best where people are. Dense urban and suburban areas have more Tile users nearby, which means faster and more reliable location updates. If your item goes missing somewhere rural or low-traffic, the tracking network has fewer devices to work with, and your chances of a quick ping go down.<br/><br/>For comparison, Apple&#39;s Find My network runs on every iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Samsung&#39;s SmartThings Find network is similarly well-populated for Galaxy users. The Tile Network is competitive in populated areas but trails those two ecosystems in raw size.</p><h2>Bluetooth Range: What 500 Feet Looks Like in Your House</h2><p>Tile claims a 500-foot Bluetooth range for the Pro, which is impressive on paper. Real-world performance is a different story.<br/><br/>Walls, furniture, floors, and interference all chip away at that number. In practice, most Tile users find that effective Bluetooth range lands somewhere between 120 and 200 feet when obstacles are involved, which is typical of limited Bluetooth range behavior across trackers in this category. That&#39;s still plenty for most homes, offices, and vehicles, but it&#39;s worth calibrating expectations before you picture your Tile pinging from a block away.<br/><br/>What the Tile Pro does better than the Tile and most other trackers in close proximity situations is its chime volume. The tracker&#39;s chime is pretty loud, noticeably more so than the Tile, which makes a real difference when you&#39;re trying to locate something buried in couch cushions or tucked under furniture. You&#39;ll hear it. If you&#39;ve ever stood just feet away from a Tile and struggled to hear it ring, the Pro&#39;s louder speaker is the fix.<br/><br/>One thing neither the Pro nor any Tile tracker offers: directional guidance. You&#39;re working off sound and signal strength rather than a <q>getting warmer</q> arrow. That means a bit of back-and-forth to zero in, which is worth knowing if you were expecting precision navigation.</p><h2>Battery Life: The Replaceable Battery Is a Bigger Deal Than It Sounds</h2><p>The Tile Pro uses a CR2032 coin cell battery, which is user-replaceable, with a manufacturer-estimated battery life of about one year. When it dies, you open the battery cover, pop in a new one, and keep going.<br/><br/>This might sound unremarkable until you compare it to the Tile Slim and standard Tile, both of which have embedded, non-replaceable batteries. When those die, the device is done. You buy a new one.<br/><br/>For the Tile Pro, a replacement CR2032 costs about a dollar. That&#39;s a meaningful long-term savings over repeatedly replacing entire Tile devices, and it&#39;s better for the environment too. If you hate throwing things away before their time, the replaceable battery alone might justify the upgrade from the Tile, especially if a dead battery has ever left you without a working tracker at the wrong moment.<br/><br/>One thing to watch: frequent chimes and heavy network pings can drain the battery a bit faster than the one-year estimate. If you&#39;re constantly ringing your Tile to find your car keys, factor that in. The longer battery life compared to embedded-battery Tile models is still a clear win overall.</p><h2><strong>Tile Premium and Subscriptions: What Costs Extra</strong></h2><p>The core Tile app experience is free. You can ring your Tile, see its last known location, and use the<a href='https://support.life360.com/hc/en-us/articles/30583035151511-Tile-Notify-When-Found?icid=blog_tile-pro_us' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'> Notify When Found</a> feature to get alerted when your lost item is detected by the Tile Network, all at no cost.<br/><br/>To unlock the full feature set, Tile offers two subscription tiers:<br/><br/><strong>Tile Premium</strong> ($3/month or $30/year) adds 30-day location history,<a href='https://support.life360.com/hc/en-us/articles/30583054431895-Set-Up-Tile-Smart-Alerts?icid=blog_tile-pro_us' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'> Smart Alerts</a> that notify you when you leave somewhere without your tagged item, and item reimbursement if things go missing for good.<br/><br/><strong>Tile Premium Protect</strong> ($99/year) bumps the reimbursement coverage up to $1,000 for lost or stolen items.<br/><br/>Smart Alerts in particular are worth calling out. The ability to get a notification before you&#39;ve driven away without your wallet is one of those features that sounds small until the day it saves you a thirty-minute round trip.<br/><br/>If you&#39;re already a Life360 Silver, Gold, or Platinum member, some of these features overlap with what your plan includes, particularly location history and alerts. Check your Life360 plan before adding a separate Tile Premium subscription on top of it.</p><h2>Android vs. iPhone: Does Your Phone Change the Math?</h2><p>Short answer: yes, a little.<br/><br/>The Tile Pro works with both iOS and Android, which is genuinely useful for mixed households where not everyone is on the same platform. That cross-platform flexibility is one of its real selling points over trackers that are locked to a single ecosystem.</p><ul><li><p><strong>For iPhone owners: </strong>Apple AirTag is deeply integrated into the Find My ecosystem and benefits from Apple&#39;s Find My network running on hundreds of millions of Apple devices. It also uses Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology for Precision Finding. Directional arrows and distance estimates right show up on your screen. For iPhone-only households, AirTag is a very strong choice.</p></li><li><p><strong>For Android users</strong>: the Tile Pro is a much more compelling option. AirTag is built for iPhone. Samsung&#39;s SmartTag 2 is built for Galaxy users. The Tile Pro works across Android devices without locking you into any specific manufacturer&#39;s ecosystem. Pair it with Life360, and you get crowdsourced finding, location history, Smart Alerts, and the SOS feature that generic Android find alternatives can&#39;t match.</p></li><li><p><strong>For mixed households</strong>: Tile Pro&#39;s platform design means everyone can use the same tracker, the same app, and see the same map.</p></li></ul><h2>The SOS Feature: A Bonus Most People Miss</h2><p>Here&#39;s something the Tile Pro does that most people don&#39;t realize when they first buy it.<br/><br/>Triple-press the button on your Tile Pro, and it sends a discreet SOS alert to your selected contacts with your location. It&#39;s completely quiet. Your contacts get notified so they can check in or send help fast.<br/><br/>The ability to send SOS alerts lives in the Life360 app, not the standard Tile app. It also only works with 2024 and newer Tile models. But if you&#39;re already set up with Life360, the SOS feature turns a key tracker into a personal safety device, one that&#39;s already on your keychain every time you leave the house.</p><h2>Privacy and Security</h2><p>Tile handles privacy thoughtfully. Device identifiers rotate regularly, which limits the ability for someone to use a Tile to track another person without their knowledge. If an unknown Tile has been traveling with you, an alert will pop up on your phone, an anti-stalking measure that&#39;s become a standard expectation for Bluetooth trackers and one Tile takes seriously.<br/><br/>Compared to Apple&#39;s Find My, Tile&#39;s end-to-end encryption is less comprehensive. Apple&#39;s system is designed so that even Apple can&#39;t access your location data. If privacy is your top priority and you&#39;re on an iPhone, that&#39;s worth factoring in when keeping track of what&#39;s right for you.<br/><br/>For most everyday use cases like locating lost items and keeping tabs on your stuff, Tile&#39;s privacy protections are solid.</p><h2>Tile Pro vs. AirTag vs. SmartTag 2 vs. Tile</h2><p><strong>Tile Pro vs. Apple AirTag ($29):</strong> AirTag wins on Find My network size, UWB precision, and price for iPhone owners. Tile Pro wins on Bluetooth range claim, IP68 vs. IP67 water resistant rating, user-replaceable battery, and Android compatibility. If you&#39;re on an iPhone and precision finding matters most: AirTag. If you&#39;re on Android or need cross-platform flexibility: Tile Pro.<br/><br/><strong>Tile Pro vs. Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 ($29.99):</strong> SmartTag 2 has UWB and tight integration with Samsung phones. If you&#39;re a Galaxy user, it&#39;s the natural fit. For everyone else on Android, especially non-Samsung devices, Tile Pro plus Life360 is the stronger combination.<br/><br/><strong>Tile Pro vs. Tile:</strong> Tile  is smaller, cheaper, and handles basic finding well. Tile Pro has a louder speaker, a longer Bluetooth range claim, metal frame construction, an IP68 water-resistant rating, and a user-replaceable battery. The Tile Slim sits between them for wallet use, with a thin profile, longer battery life, but no replaceable battery. If you&#39;ve ever been frustrated by the Tile&#39;s quiet chime or felt like it wasn&#39;t durable enough for daily carry, the Pro solves both of those problems. The Tile Slim is worth considering if a wallet is your primary use case and slim matters more than range.</p><h2>Who Should Buy the Tile Pro?</h2><p><strong>Great fit:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Android users who want a well-built, durable tracker with a longer range</p></li><li><p>Mixed iPhone/Android households that need one tracker the whole family can use</p></li><li><p>Anyone already using Life360 who wants to add their everyday items to the same map as their family</p></li><li><p>People who want a user-replaceable battery and plan to keep their Tile devices for years</p></li><li><p>Anyone who wants the SOS feature as a quiet personal safety tool</p></li></ul><p><strong>Probably not the right fit:</strong></p><ul><li><p>iPhone-only households who want UWB precision → Apple AirTag is likely the better call</p></li><li><p>Dedicated Galaxy users who want deep Samsung ecosystem integration → SmartTag 2 is built for you</p></li><li><p>Budget-first buyers who just need basic finding → standard Tile handles that for less.</p></li></ul><h2>Final Verdict</h2><p>The Tile Pro is a genuinely good Bluetooth tracker. The metal frame, louder speaker, user-replaceable battery, and water-resistant IP68 build make it a practical, durable everyday companion. The 500-foot Bluetooth range claim is optimistic in the real world, and the lack of UWB can be a gap for iPhone owners who want precision finding, but for Android users and mixed households, those limitations matter a lot less.<br/><br/>The bigger picture: if you&#39;re already using Life360 to keep track of your family, adding the Tile Pro means your car keys, wallet, and bag show up on the same map as your people. The Life360 app brings Tile&#39;s location data together with family location sharing, Smart Alerts, and the SOS feature, all in one place. No switching between tools when something goes missing. That kind of consolidation has real value, especially when you&#39;re already stressed about finding something.<a href='https://www.life360.com/tile-trackers/products/tile-pro?icid=blog_tile-pro_us' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'> Shop the Tile Pro</a> and explore<a href='https://www.life360.com/plans-pricing?icid=blog_tile-pro_us' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'> Life360 membership plans</a> today. </p><p><br/></p>

Tile Pro Review (2026)

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.

One second. And now it&#39;s just...gone. You&#39;ve checked the couch. You&#39;ve checked the counter. You&#39;ve done the full pocket-pat three times. Nothing.<br/><br/>If your phone has a habit of disappearing into the furniture, or you&#39;re dealing with something more serious like a lost or stolen device, knowing how to track it down quickly makes all the difference. The good news: there are five solid methods that actually work, and one of them you might already have sitting on your keychain.</p><h2>How Does a Phone Finder Actually Work?</h2><p>Before we get into the methods, there are a few things your phone needs to be locatable in the first place.<br/><br/>First, have location services been turned on? Without them, most tracking tools are working blind. Your phone also needs some kind of connection to the internet or a mobile signal so that it can send live location updates to you. If your device doesn&#39;t have a connection, Bluetooth options fill in the gaps for short-range finding, especially when your phone is nearby but off the grid.<br/><br/>You also need to be signed into a Life360 account with the device registered before anything goes missing. This is the part most people skip until it&#39;s too late.<br/><br/>Once those pieces are in place, your device can be located through a mix of GPS (accurate outdoors), Wi-Fi triangulation (helpful indoors), and cell-tower data (useful when signal is spotty). Some apps also use crowdsourced findings. When your device goes offline, nearby users anonymously relay its location back to you. You&#39;ll never know who helped, and neither will they.<br/><br/>If none of that was set up ahead of time, you&#39;re limited to the last known location before the phone went dark. Not ideal, but still useful. Let&#39;s jump into how to get your phone found.</p><h2>5 Ways to Find Your Phone (Or Your Family Member&#39;s)</h2><p>If everything is set up, there are a handful of ways to locate devices that have gone missing.</p><h3>1. Retrace Your Steps</h3><p>Before reaching for any app, take sixty seconds to think through where your phone actually was. The last place you remember using it. The last room you walked through. The last thing you did before the panic set in.<br/><br/>Most phones turn up within ten feet of where their owner last remembers having them: on a counter, slid under something, left in a jacket pocket. A quick mental rewind and a physical sweep of the obvious spots saves a lot of time before you escalate to tech solutions. Check the couch cushions, the car, and the bathroom counter. It sounds obvious, but it works more often than people admit.<br/><br/>If the physical search comes up empty, that&#39;s when you move to the methods below.</p><h2>2. Use Tile to Ring Your Phone (Even on Silent)</h2><p>If your phone is somewhere nearby (perhaps buried in a couch cushion, hiding under a pile of laundry, or wedged between car seats), <a href='https://www.life360.com/tile-trackers/product/tile-clay?icid=blog_how-to-track-your-phone_us' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'>your Tile tracker can find it fast.</a><br/><br/>Just double-press the button on your Tile, and your phone will ring, even if it&#39;s on silent. No need to dig through every room. You&#39;ll hear it.<br/><br/>This works within Bluetooth range (up to 350 feet) through the Life360 app. It won&#39;t help if your phone is across town, but for the classic <q>it&#39;s <em>somewhere</em> in this house</q> scenario, it&#39;s the fastest fix there is.</p><div></div><h3>3. Find My (iPhone)</h3><p>Apple&#39;s built-in phone finder comes on every iPhone, and it&#39;s worth setting up before you ever need it.<br/><br/>Open the Find My app, or sign in at<a href='https://www.icloud.com' target='_blank' title='Abre em nova aba'> icloud.com</a> from any browser. Your phone will show up on a map with its current location. From there, you can play a sound to help locate it, put it in Lost Mode, or erase it remotely if things look grim.<br/><br/>The key: location services and iCloud need to be set up in advance. If you haven&#39;t turned those on yet, that&#39;s the first thing to do after reading this.</p><h3>4. Find My Device (Android)</h3><p>Android users have the same core capability through Google. Head to android.com/find, sign in to your Google account, and your phone or tablet will show up on a map within the hub.<br/><br/>From there, it&#39;s the same playbook as Find My: you can ring it, lock it, or erase it.

How to Track Your Phone: 5 Methods That Actually Work

Your dog escaped again. Surprise! (Not really.) If you're researching GPS trackers and keep seeing the Halo collar pop up alongside Life360 Pet GPS, this one's for you. We break down both side-by-side — GPS accuracy, battery life, virtual fences, cost, and more — so you can stop second-guessing and start tracking. Spoiler: one's built to contain your dog, the other keeps your whole family (pup included) on one map.

<h3>Summary</h3><p><strong>What this article covers:</strong> A side-by-side feature comparison of the Halo collar and Life360 Pet GPS to help pet parents decide which tracker actually fits their dog and their life.</p><h3>Who it&#39;s for:</h3><ul><li><p>Pet parents researching GPS collars and dog trackers before buying</p></li><li><p>Dog owners who&#39;ve heard of the Halo collar and want to know how it stacks up</p></li><li><p>Families already using Life360 who want to add pet tracking without a second app</p></li><li><p>Anyone trying to figure out if the Halo collar&#39;s price tag is worth it</p></li></ul><h3>Key Takeaways:</h3><ul><li><p>The Halo collar is a dedicated GPS dog collar with virtual fences, training feedback, and activity tracking that requires a Pack Membership Plan subscription to function.</p></li><li><p>Life360 Pet GPS taps into satellites and cellular networks for real-time tracking, and lives on the same map as your family, people, and things.</p></li><li><p>For pet parents who want everything in one place, Life360 is the stronger fit.</p></li></ul><p><br/>You would think that after your beloved dog snuck his way out of the gate for the tenth time, you wouldn&#39;t be surprised. But nope, you&#39;re still a little surprised, or at least a little panicked when it happens. A reckless driver could whip around a corner and endanger your pet, or your fur baby could simply get lost.<br/><br/>Even when your dog is actually just quietly sleeping upstairs, that low-grade background hum of <q>Where is my pup right now?</q> is something a lot of dog owners carry around. Honestly, it&#39;s exhausting. But then you remember: there <em>are</em> dog trackers out there, right? They help you know exactly where your dog is, whether he&#39;s in his dog bed or halfway to his favorite park, unsupervised.<br/><br/>So you start researching. Two brands you&#39;ve probably come across: the Halo dog collar and the Life360 Pet GPS. Both promise to help you keep tabs on your dog. Both use GPS. But beyond that, how do you accurately compare them?<br/><br/>We can help you there. This guide is a side-by-side comparison of the two and can help you select the right tracker for your pup.</p><h2><strong>What Is the Halo Collar?</strong></h2><p>The Halo collar is a GPS fence collar designed to keep your dog inside a boundary without a physical fence. It creates wireless GPS fences using the Halo app, and when your dog approaches or crosses one of those boundaries, the collar delivers sound, vibration, and static feedback to redirect them. It also logs activity and tracks your dog&#39;s location in real time.<br/><br/>The Halo system is designed to fit dogs with neck sizes ranging from 8 to 30.5 inches, so it works for small dogs all the way up to large breeds. It&#39;s a self-contained training and containment tool, and for pet parents with large properties and no physical fence, it was built specifically for that problem.<br/><br/>The current version — the Halo collar 5 — builds on earlier versions with updated GPS accuracy and app functionality through the Halo app.</p><h2><strong>What Is Life360 Pet GPS?</strong></h2><p>Life360 Pet GPS is a real-time GPS tracker that clips onto your dog&#39;s existing collar and shows your pet on your Life360 map, right alongside your family members and Tile-tracked items like keys or wallets. It taps into satellites and cellular networks for live location updates. It also lets you set up Places (virtual fences) with arrival and departure alerts, and includes Escaped Pet Mode and a Lost Pet Alert that notifies nearby Life360 members to help bring your dog home. Unlike GPS fence collars, it delivers no sound, vibration, or static feedback to your dog — it&#39;s a tracker, not a training tool. It tells <em>you</em> where your pet is, so you can take action.<br/><br/>The biggest thing that separates it from most pet trackers: it&#39;s not a separate app for a separate problem. Your pet, your people, and your stuff all live on one map. If you&#39;re already a Life360 family, adding your dog is just... adding your dog to the family Circle.</p><h2><strong>Setup and Ease of Use</strong></h2><p>You want a tracking system that&#39;s intuitive and fits into your routine with ease.<br/><br/>Getting up and running with the Halo collar involves downloading the Halo app, activating a Pack Membership Plan, and working through Halo&#39;s structured onboarding before you can use the full GPS fence system. There&#39;s no way to skip the training sequence, which some pet parents find genuinely useful, and others find a bit much when they just want to know where their dog is.<br/><br/>If you&#39;re already a Life360 member, your dog shows up on your existing map once you activate the tracker. It auto-connects to what you already have. For new users, getting started is straightforward: download the Life360 app, choose a membership plan that includes Pet GPS, and activate your device. The app walks you through setup step by step, and most people are tracking their pet within minutes.<br/><br/>If you want a tracker that slots into your existing routine without much friction, Life360 has the edge here.</p><h2><strong>GPS Accuracy and Real-Time Tracking</strong></h2><p>Both products offer real-time GPS tracking, but they&#39;re doing it for different reasons.<br/><br/>Halo uses what they call PrecisionGPS™ technology, claiming accuracy within 1.4 feet of the intended boundary location. That level of precision matters when you&#39;re relying on the collar to enforce a GPS fence — a few feet in the wrong direction means a false alert (or a missed one). The Halo system mixes GPS, LTE, and Wi-Fi to maintain fence accuracy, and in suburban areas with strong signal and home Wi-Fi coverage, it performs well.<br/><br/>Life360 Pet GPS taps into satellites and cellular networks to update your dog&#39;s location on the map in real time. Location accuracy depends on the environment and signal strength, which is precise enough to know your dog is in the neighbor&#39;s yard and not the park three streets away. The goal here is awareness and response, not virtual containment. You&#39;re watching your pet on a map and getting alerts when your pet leaves your designated safe zones.<br/><br/>Both products show your dog&#39;s location; they just put that data to work differently.</p><h2><strong>Virtual Fences and Safety Alerts</strong></h2><p>This is Halo&#39;s home turf, and it does this well. The Halo collar lets you create and manage virtual fences using the Halo app, and you can set up multiple GPS fences globally, even in areas without Wi-Fi or cellular service, using beacon technology. When your dog gets close to a boundary, the collar delivers that sound, vibration, and static feedback we mentioned earlier. There&#39;s also a return whistle feature that cues your dog to come back before they&#39;ve crossed the line.<br/><br/>For pet parents whose dogs have learned that the <em>sound</em> means turn around, this system works. The honest caveat: some dogs eventually learn to ignore fences, especially if the feedback is inconsistent or they&#39;re highly motivated by whatever&#39;s on the other side. That&#39;s not a knock on Halo specifically — it&#39;s just the reality of GPS fences with any brand.<br/><br/>Life360 uses virtual fences tied to specific addresses or areas that you designate as a <q>Place</q> or safe zone in the app and you will receive a notification when your pet arrives or leaves that area. No feedback to the dog; it&#39;s an alert to you. Simpler, but paired with Escaped Pet Mode and the Lost Pet Alert to the Pet Finder Network, it&#39;s a response system more than a containment system. Different job, done well.</p><h2><strong>Battery Life</strong></h2><p>This one&#39;s pretty clear-cut.<br/><br/>The Halo collar has a battery life of up to 48 hours, or roughly two days, as advertised. Real-world use tends to put it closer to 14–18 hours, depending on GPS activity, which means daily charging becomes part of the routine. The silver lining: it charges fast, in about an hour.<br/><br/>Life360 Pet GPS gets up to 14 days per charge under normal use, with a 6-month Reserve Mode for low-power situations when you need the device to last longer at reduced accuracy. For pet parents who&#39;d rather not add <q>charge the dog tracker</q> to their nightly checklist, that difference is real.</p><h2><strong>Comfort, Design, and Durability</strong></h2><p>Both Halo and Life360 dog collars are purpose-built for dogs that have active and messy lives. If your pup encounters walks, hikes, mud, rain, or the occasional swimming incident, you need something that holds up. At the same time, what is more important than the comfort of your pet? They&#39;re part of the family, after all.<br/><br/>The Halo collar carries an IP67 waterproof rating, which holds up well in rain and puddles. It&#39;s a lighter build, which some pet parents prefer, especially for smaller breeds. It fits a wide size range, which is genuinely useful for smaller dogs. Cosmetic wear over time has come up in user reviews, and while IP67 handles everyday wet conditions fine, frequent swimmers may want something rated higher.<br/><br/>Life360 Pet GPS is IP68 rated (or water resistant up to 5 feet) and built to handle any splashes and whatever adventure your pup decides to go on that day. It fits collar widths up to 1.25 inches, so it&#39;s worth double-checking the fit if you have a small dog with a narrow collar.<br/><br/>Both are designed to sit on the collar without weighing your dog down, and comfort-wise, neither is going to drive your dog crazy.</p><h2><strong>Subscription Costs and Long-Term Value</strong></h2><p>This is where the comparison gets real, so let&#39;s just look at the numbers.<br/><br/>A Pack Membership Plan is required for every Halo collar to activate and keep GPS services running. The subscription plans include:</p><ul><li><p>Bronze at $9.99/month</p></li><li><p>Silver at $14.99/month</p></li><li><p>Gold at $19.99/month</p></li></ul><p>Each additional collar added to a plan is available at a lower monthly rate. Halo offers an annual plan where you get one free month built in, which helps, but the math still adds up. The minimum cost for the basic subscription plan over three years is $359.64, and that&#39;s before the collar itself, which starts at $599. If you have two dogs and need two collars, that cost doubles on the hardware side.<br/><br/>For Life360, the tracker is $49.99. Pet GPS tracking is included with:</p><ul><li><p>A Gold membership at $14.99/month</p></li><li><p>Platinum at $24.99/month</p></li></ul><p>Those same memberships also cover family safety features such as crash detection, emergency dispatch, 24/7 roadside assistance, 30 days of location history, and location sharing for your family. One plan. One map. Your dog, your kids, your elderly parent, and your car keys are all covered.<br/><br/>For families who want pet tracking without stacking another subscription on top of their existing ones, that bundled value is genuinely hard to beat.</p><h2><strong>Training and Practical Use</strong></h2><p>Halo leans into behavioral training more than any other feature. The collar is designed to reinforce boundary awareness through customizable feedback, and the Halo app includes structured training programs to help your dog learn what the feedback means. For pet parents who want to invest time in that process, the system is built for it. Activity tracking and the dog&#39;s health data are also logged through the app, so you can keep an eye on patterns over time.<br/><br/>Life360 Pet GPS doesn&#39;t offer training features for your dog. It&#39;s truly about tracking them and alerting you. It works best alongside solid recall training and physical fencing where possible. But Escaped Pet Mode, Place Alerts, and the Lost Pet Alert to the Pet Finder Network make it a strong response tool when things go sideways anyway. If your dog has good training and you just need to know where they are when they slip out, Life360 does that job really well.</p><h2><strong>Connectivity and Signal Reliability</strong></h2><p>Both products rely on GPS as the foundation, but how they stay connected in the real world is worth understanding.<br/><br/>Halo mixes GPS, LTE, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth assist to maintain signal and fence accuracy. In suburban areas with solid cell coverage and a dedicated Wi-Fi setup at home, this combo performs well. In rural or heavily wooded areas, some users report more signal variance and occasional false boundary alerts. The GPS fences work without Wi-Fi or cellular in beacon mode, but full GPS dog tracking requires connectivity.<br/><br/>Life360 Pet GPS runs on LTE-M cellular with Bluetooth Long Range and multi-constellation GPS as backup layers. It doesn&#39;t rely on a home Wi-Fi connection to function. Coverage varies by network, but the multi-constellation GPS approach gives it more to work with in areas where a single signal source might struggle.</p><h2><strong>Customer Support and Community</strong></h2><p>Halo has received mixed reviews on customer support — some pet parents report positive experiences, others have run into challenges getting issues resolved. The resale market for Halo collars is active, which may reflect that the product isn&#39;t the right fit for everyone who buys it.<br/><br/>Life360 is used by 91 million members, holds a 4.8-star rating on the App Store and 4.5 stars on Google Play, and has a well-established support infrastructure.</p><h2><strong>Which One Is Right for Your Dog?</strong></h2><p>Here are a few areas to consider as you decide which is better for your family.<br/><br/><strong>If your main goal is GPS containment</strong> because you have a large property, no physical fence, and you want a system that redirects your dog before they leave the boundary, the Halo collar was purpose-built for that. It&#39;s a serious tool for a specific job.<br/><br/><strong>If your dog is already physically fenced, but you want to know the moment they escape</strong>, and you want to be able to find them fast when it happens, Life360 Pet GPS is built for that response moment.<br/><br/><strong>If you&#39;re already a Life360 family</strong> — tracking kids, a parent, or everyday items — adding your dog to the same map is a no-brainer. One app, one membership.<br/><br/><strong>If you have multiple dogs</strong> and the idea of paying for two collars plus two subscription plans makes you want to lie down, Life360&#39;s membership structure is worth a serious look.</p><h2><strong>Final Thoughts</strong></h2><p>The truth is, your dog is going to do what your dog is going to do. You can&#39;t begrudge your pet for being a pet! She might hop the fence or chase a squirrel, and even the best-trained dogs might wander. If you don&#39;t want to rely on your fur baby&#39;s instincts and instead trust your own, Life360 is all about giving YOU the information you need and keeping your dog safe.<br/><br/>Learn more about pet safety with Life360 and keep your whole family, including the four-legged ones, safe and found.</p>
