Tile may not launch Find My Device network-supported trackers

A couple of days ago, Google finally launched the much-awaited Find My Device feature. The feature was first showcased at last year’s Google I/O event but has started rolling out just now. Soon after the launch, a variety of brands announced that they would launch their compatible trackers to support the new service. However, one notable company was missing from the list – Tile.

At the I/O event, Google announced that Tile will be one of the brands to release a compatible tracker. However, a new report suggests that Tile will not be releasing Find My Device network-supported compatible tracers, at least for now.

Tile is currently not working on a Google Find My Device network-compatible tracker

According to the source, a Tile spokesperson has revealed that the brand is not working on a compatible tracker. The company is focusing on building a “cross-platform solution that enables location-based finding of people, pets, and things”. One of the typical examples of this is the integration of Tile’s technology into Life360 map, which has over 66 million members.

So, if you are a Tile user, then don’t expect it to announce a Find My Device network-supported tracker any time soon. However, the company did mention that “we have a great working relationship with Google and look forward to future partnerships”. We will keep you updated if there’s any announcement, so stay in touch for more details.

Here are all the trackers that will work with Google’s Find My Device network

While announcing the rollout of the Find My Device network, Google posted a complete list of all devices that will support it. Chipolo’s One Point and One Card will be amongst the first to support the network. The Pebblebee Clip, Pebblebee Card, and Pebblebee Tag are also on the list. In addition, the Eufy Smart Track Link, Smart Tag Card for Android, and JioTag Go will have support in the future.

Some of the existing audio products will also support the Find My Device network. These include the JBL Tour Pro 2, Tour One M2, and the Sony WH-1000XM5. Google will also soon add support for the Pixel Buds Pro. We expect more tiny trackers and audio products to join the list in the near future.

Google’s Find My Device app is currently available for Android users in the US and Canada. However, a global launch isn’t too far. Users in these regions can install the app on their devices to locate compatible Android phones, tablets, and more. The technology relies on a crowdsourced network of over a billion devices to help users locate lost gadgets more reliably.
