how far can a tile track

The distance a tile can track depends on various factors, including:

1. Type of Tile: There are different types of Tile devices, such as Tile Mate, Tile Slim, Tile Sticker, and Tile Pro. Each has a different range and tracking capabilities.
2. Bluetooth Range: Tile devices use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to communicate with your phone or other devices. The typical range of BLE is around 100-150 feet (30-45 meters) in ideal conditions. However, this range can be affected by obstacles, such as walls, furniture, and other electronic devices.
3. Crowd-Sourced Tracking: Tile has a crowd-sourced tracking feature called "Tile Network" that allows other Tile users to help locate your device. When another Tile user comes within range of your device, their phone will anonymously send the location to Tile’s servers, which will then update the location on your account. This feature can significantly extend the tracking range, but it relies on the presence of other Tile users in the area.
4. GPS and Wi-Fi: Some Tile devices, like the Tile Pro, have built-in GPS and Wi-Fi capabilities, which can provide more accurate location tracking and extend the range.

Here are some approximate tracking ranges for different Tile devices:

• Tile Mate: up to 150 feet (45 meters)
• Tile Slim: up to 100 feet (30 meters)
• Tile Sticker: up to 150 feet (45 meters)
• Tile Pro: up to 400 feet (120 meters) with GPS and Wi-Fi

Keep in mind that these ranges are estimates and can vary depending on the environment and other factors. If you’re concerned about tracking a specific item, it’s always a good idea to test the range of your Tile device in different scenarios.
