What are Tile trackers?

Tile is a company that offers trackers who connect via Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth the or BLE). They allow their owners to use a smartphone application to locate these trackers on demand.

The company itself sells a range of different trackers: Pro, Mate, Slim (and several older models). The brand also offers other Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as headsets.

In the case of headphones, you will not need a brand tracker for these. The system will operate using the device’s native Bluetooth hardware – which is known as Find with Tile, as long as this technology is supported.

There are 26 million trackers of the brand, based on figures from 2019. They make 6 million requests for location every day. Finally, Tile reports that it has more than 90% of the US market for Bluetooth trackers.
