March 21, 2022: ‘Scan & Secure’ Feature

Tile has rolled out its new “Scan & Secure” feature in its app, allowing its users to see if there are any unwanted Tile tages or trackers near you. Users need to download the Tile app first and then move “a certain distance” away from their original location so that the app can see if any Tiles are moving with you that shouldn’t be. Once there are unwanted tage, users can contact resources like the National Domestic Violence Hotline to get help. The Scan & Secure feature will be available to anyone who has the Tile app installed on their devices within a week or two.
