Hi there, Great question! Although Tile has the ability to reliably track personal belongings, it wasn't designed for tracking people. Since Tile uses Bluetooth to keep track of your things, it can find something that is within up to a 400-foot range. Because Tile doesn't offer the same live tracking that a GPS device would, it's not the most reliable source for keeping up with something that's moving around relatively quickly. We recommend Tile to be used for things like your wallet, keys, school supplies, or something your kids tend to misplace often. I wanted to let you know that we do not advocate Tile for the use of tracking people. Tracking someone without their consent is also against the law. As a Bluetooth tracker, Tile can immediately track something that’s within 30-100 feet. Outside of that, Tile relies on anonymous location updates from the Tile network for up-to-date location information.
