What is Tile Tracker?

Tile is a tiny Bluetooth tracker and easy-to-use app that finds everyday items in seconds. After you have purchased your Tile, download the app to your Apple iOS or Android device, and then simply pair your Tile to your device. Once your device is paired use your app to find your items quickly.
Attach a Tile to an item and locate it by sound, by seeing its last known location on a map, or by marking it as "lost" and getting an alert when it's found
• Find your phone! Simply press Tile to make your lost phone ring even if it's on silent
• Keep track of phones, tablets, keys, wallets, luggage, purses, backpacks, cameras, remote controls, kids toys, and more
• Using the app on your phone, you can see where you last had the item attached to the Tile Tracker; or even send a command to the tracker to “ring” so you can track it down.

The Google company recently announced they are improving their integration with Google Assistant, which will mean that soon you’ll be able to ask your smart speaker or home hub display where your car keys are or your wallet or pretty much anything else you can attach a Tile to.

The feature will be available later this year, making use of the Tile Tracker’s ‘direct ring’ technology, which will allow voice-enabled devices to “connect directly with and ring lost items, for a faster and more reliable result”.
