How do you tell if a Tile is tracking you?

Answered by Jason Smith

When it comes to determining if a Tile is tracking you, there are a few key indicators to look out for. The Tile app provides visual cues that can help you determine if your Tile is in range and actively tracking your belongings.

First, open the Tile app on your device and locate the Tile you want to check. When you tap on the Tile, you will notice a circle surrounding the item’s photo. This circle provides important information about the status of your Tile’s connection.

If the circle around the Tile’s photo is a solid green, then your Tile is in range and actively tracking your belongings. This means that your device is successfully connected to the Tile and you can ring it to locate your item. This is the ideal scenario and indicates that you can easily find your item using the app.

On the other hand, if the circle is dotted green and spinning, it means that your Tile is in range but it hasn’t connected to your device yet. This could be due to various reasons such as temporary interference or a weak Bluetooth connection. In this case, you can still try to ring your Tile, but it may take a bit longer to establish a connection and locate your item.

It’s worth noting that the range of your Tile can vary depending on the specific model you have. Some Tiles have a shorter range, while others have a longer range. If you’re unsure about the range of your Tile, you can refer to the product documentation or the Tile app for more information.

In addition to the visual cues provided by the app, you may also receive notifications on your device when your Tile is tracking your belongings. These notifications can include updates on the last known location of your item or reminders to check if your Tile is nearby. These notifications can be helpful in ensuring that your Tile is actively tracking your belongings and providing you with the necessary information to find them.

The Tile app provides clear indicators to help you determine if your Tile is tracking you. By paying attention to the circle surrounding the Tile’s photo and any notifications you receive, you can easily stay informed about the status of your Tile and ensure that it is actively helping you find your belongings.
