    Where I live there is almost no tile users.

    Tile is the same concept as Airtag with the exception that you probably won’t recover what you have lost because it’s incredibly unlikely it will be pinged by a tile user.

    I say that owning multiple tiles. I’m just saying these locators things are only as useful as their network. And the tile Network is mostly very weak.

    What sucks is that Apple and Samsung are both restricting the use of their network. Nothing is interoperable as usual. And so the consumer is the one literally losing.

      I think Apple opened its network to tiles and similar, but you need to buy a specific one made for the Apple network (which costs more, probably because of apple tax)

      Iirc Google will be doing the same with its new network

        That’s interesting!

        I’ll look into it.

        The big players here are Apple and Samsung. If both open their network it would be absolutely amazing…

      Really? I’ve had good luck with the network, and I live in a small city. Lost a set of keys at a truck stop in rural NM and they pinged correctly
