Of course. The app will prompt you.

Theres not a lot of confirmations and numbers offically released but you'll want to check this out if you haven't seen Android Find My Devices. - There a few different brands ont he market and this is one that I've reviewed but I have more coming - th-cam.com/video/mWN0bIpl20E/w-d-xo.html

NO! This is only for misplace items, not people or pets.

While it's true that Bluetooth trackers don’t include GPS, labeling them as gimmicks misses the point. The technology is designed to be efficient and reliable within its intended range. People often overlook the real benefits because they don’t take the time to understand how these devices work, what they should be used for, and what they shouldn't. Bluetooth trackers are optimized for battery life, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use, making them ideal for everyday situations where people misplace their belongings-cases where a GPS tracker would be overkill. It’s not about lacking features-it’s about using the right tool for the job and educating users on its strengths.

@@TrackThisNThat yes, you are correct. Using a mallet where a hammer is due is silly. Which device would you recommend for GPS tracking of a car? Device without a monthly fee?

@@oleopathic Unfortunately, that’s the catch. GPS trackers with cellular communication require a monthly or yearly fee because they need to connect just like a cell phone. While obtaining GPS coordinates is free (thanks to government-funded satellites), transmitting those coordinates involves cellular costs that aren't free. I have seen some trackers that have a few mile range with synced reciever but I belive its only a mile or two so for a car, its not that useful. Why no monthly fee, most plans for long term plans are under hundred bucks a year so its worth it.

@TrackThisNThat I've decided to give this gadget another chance. You've have a good argument in its favor !

They ARE NOT designed for pets!

I'm not entirely sure I understand the question. The last location update can either refer to the spot where your phone or device last connected to the Tile, or where it was last detected by a nearby Tile user or access point. This process is fully automatic and cannot be manually specified.

You'll have to do your own testing to make sure it can get a GPS and cellular connection when hidden. I would proubally hardwire it the hoverboard so you don't have to worry about charging them all the time.

It's not required for basic finding your misplace items but if you want Smart Alerts or some other features, then yeah they charge as most other companies don't charge.

@@TrackThisNThat thanks for your response. Apple AirTags has Left Behind feature without subscription.

👋👋hello Allison this is my second TH-cam

Life360 and Tile are two very different products, and their integration should not be confused. Bluetooth trackers like Tile do not have GPS or cellular communication. They connect to your phone or another Tile user's phone, and then the Tile app uses the GPS location of the user's phone (not the Tile) and communicates that information to the Tile servers using the phone's connection (cellular or Wi-Fi). Therefore, if no Tile user is nearby, it will NOT update. It is NOT real-time. Tile icons do appear on the Life360 map and are listed under 'Items,' but you need to pay close attention to the wording, as it says 'last updated (time).' This does not indicate the current location; it's only listed for convenience since both companies are now under the same ownership. However, they remain two very different products/services.

They are a life saver for people like you and me that misplace things all the time.

@@TrackThisNThat i just bought one for my keys today. Amazing how much piece of mind I feel now :)

Watch the video. I talk about each one.

Is a Google Pixel phone the same as a Samsung Galaxy phone?

@@TrackThisNThat So you dont know the answer?

You think? I thought she was pretty nice about it. I was thinking about doing it three more times, one for each of the new models I recently reviewed, but I thought that might be a little excessive, as I wouldn't get anything new out of it except someone getting upset.

NO, do not upgrade! Use it until it dies! Watch the video fully and understand the minor differences.

Thanks for sharing. I haven't heard of or experienced that issue with my old 2022 or earlier Pro models. It seems you have to push in the tab so much that it breaks, causing it to only lock once so just beware of that. I'm not sure that will always be the case but it happened in mine.

right on the front. you can see me press and holding it at 02:30, double press at 02:37

With only 20 million users, you going to get a lot connections if any at all. Plus understand how bluetooth trackers work and if the kid is moving, the location marked, is where connection happen, not where the kid currently and since its not in real time, it could have connected 5,10,15 mintues ago. How far can a kid walk in 15 mintues. Pretty far! If youre really anxous and want something that could help for real instead of smoke and mirrors, get a real GPS tracker that updates every mintue or sooner!

😂 Tile is junk! Nobody runs the app to get hits on your item. Only way you get your stuff back is if you hunt it yourself. Good luck with that.

Yes, you need to buy Tile Premium, if you want the Tile Premium features for your Tile like Smart Alerts (out of range), or 30-day history, etc. (Don't get confused between the Tile's 30-history and Life360 30-day history)

If you mark it as lost in the Find My app, you can leave contact info and then when someone scans the NFC, it will take them to a website with your info. It can also be used in smarthome automations by programing your phone to trigger the automation when the NFC is detected. Make sense?

05:22 Bluetooth Trackers are NOT for STOLEN ITEMS!

You mean Eufy? If so, these are on two different networks, so the Eufy SmartTrack Card is better because it has Apple Find My and over 1 billion devices. I also just reviewed a similar one from SwitchBot, and I'm still undecided about which one is better for Apple Find My-I love them both. Check out the review! - th-cam.com/video/N2x_382xnng/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Kgi5l1gRjPGTEsDR

Two very different networks. 20+ Million users vs 1 Billion+ doesn't compare. Paid Smart Alerts vs Free Left Behind feature, doesn't compare.

If a tag isn't moving, your statement can be a bit misleading, as these are Bluetooth trackers that connect only to Samsung Galaxy devices via Bluetooth. Bluetooth doesn't have a 500m range. Remember, it’s not the tag’s location that is being reported, but the location of the Samsung Galaxy device it’s connected to, which provides the GPS data. So, if the tag is stationary, it must be within a max of 120 meters of the galaxy phone in optimal conditions.

You can’t!

The Smart Things app on Samsung phones would alert someone in the car that there is a tracker. It's a anti stalking feature. My advice would be to put a sign on the car window to advise a tracker is installed. That alone would be a deterrent. If the tag is well hidden, they wouldn't find it.

There is a website that my wife uses that will give information about a house and who lives there currently, their phone number, their relatives, everything. Half the apps I use need to check my location. They’re more than likely doing the same.
