Looking for a simple way to track your valuables and keep your family safe? Life360 now fully integrates Tile Bluetooth trackers into its app, allowing you to manage both people and items seamlessly. This means you no longer need the standalone Tile app—everything can now be set up and monitored directly through the Life360 app. This integration answers common user queries like “How do I manage my Tile with Life360?” and “What’s new for Tile users in Life360?” while combining robust family location tracking with reliable item tracking.

Life360’s move to fully absorb Tile functionality marks a big shift in how users interact with both platforms. Since acquiring Tile for $205 million in 2022, Life360 has gradually blended Tile’s Bluetooth tracking into its ecosystem. Now, users can set up and control their Tile trackers from within the Life360 app. This update includes powerful features like automatic notifications when you leave an item behind, location history for tracked items, and easier device management—all without switching between apps.

The consolidation also streamlines the Life360 experience. With its family safety focus—similar to Apple’s Find My app—Life360 allows authorized “Circle” members to track each other’s real-time locations. This enhanced tracking provides parents with peace of mind, offering alerts for arrivals, departures, and even flight landings. The app’s integration with Tile means users can keep track of personal items alongside family members, eliminating the need for constant text updates like “Let me know when you get there.”

For families seeking comprehensive security solutions, Life360’s paid plans are evolving. The updated Silver membership ($7.99/month) now includes the SOS Alerts feature, which lets users call 911 with a triple-tap on a Tile tracker. Previously exclusive to the higher-tier Gold plan ($14.99/month), this feature also comes with seven days of location history, while the Gold tier offers an extended 30-day history. Even with a free Life360 account, users can track both people and items, though history is limited to two days.

High-value features like driver reports, which track phone usage, speed, and braking behavior, make Life360 an appealing choice for families with young drivers. However, potential subscribers should consider how much data they’re willing to share. Although Life360 no longer sells precise user data, its privacy policy allows for sharing with business partners, including driving analytics services and possibly insurance companies. This has been a concern highlighted in reports like Kashmir Hill’s New York Times investigation.

The full integration of Tile trackers into Life360 seems designed to transition Tile users toward Life360’s app. Although the standalone Tile app isn’t retired yet, the redirect of Tile.com to Life360.com indicates it’s only a matter of time. This strategic consolidation is likely to attract more families and tech-savvy users looking for all-in-one safety and tracking solutions.

For those seeking Bluetooth tracking devices, location tracking apps, or family safety solutions with high-end features, Life360’s integration with Tile offers a powerful, user-friendly option. Whether you’re tracking your child’s whereabouts, a pet’s movements, or valuable items like keys and wallets, Life360’s latest update makes managing them easier and more secure—all while enhancing your family’s digital safety and privacy.
