Tile trackers now managed in Life360

Life360 merges Tile features into its app, including location history, left-behind alerts, and SOS emergency taps.

Picture this: you hustled out the door this morning, coffee in hand, only to realize your keys are still on the kitchen counter. Minutes later, instead of scrambling back inside, you feel a tap on your phone—a push notification from Life360 reminding you that you’ve left an item behind. No more frantic texts to roommates or digging through couch cushions. That’s the promise of the latest update from Life360, the family-safety app that swallowed Bluetooth-tracker maker Tile for $205 million in 2022, and is now weaving Tile’s full feature set directly into its own interface.

When Life360 acquired Tile’s hardware and software business two years ago, it was clear the goal was to consolidate location-tracking under one roof. Up until now, you could see your Tiles alongside your family members on the Life360 map, but you still needed Tile’s standalone app to activate new devices or tweak settings. With the new release—announced on Life360’s own blog this week—all that changes. Adding, setting up, and managing Tile trackers happens entirely within the Life360 app, without a single detour into Tile’s old interface.

Life360 isn’t pulling the plug on the Tile app just yet—it told TechCrunch the app will remain live “at this time”—but the writing is on the wall. Last month, Tile.com began redirecting visitors to Life360.com, a digital breadcrumb that hints Tile’s standalone days are numbered.

Among the first Tile features to land in Life360 are two fan favorites: automatic “left-behind” alerts and rich location history. If you wander away from your keys, backpack, or that one jacket you always forget, Life360 will buzz you—just as Tile did. And instead of peeking into Tile’s logs, you’ll find days’ worth of location breadcrumbs right in your Life360 timeline.

But the update isn’t only about catching up. Life360 also reshuffled its subscription tiers, lowering the bar for some advanced safety perks. The $7.99-per-month Silver plan now unlocks “SOS Alerts” on compatible Tiles—a triple-tap that dials 911 in an emergency—alongside seven days of location history. Previously, that feature was locked behind the $14.99 Gold plan, which still offers 30 days of history. Free users continue to get two days of history and basic tracking for people and things.

At its core, Life360 is about peace of mind. Similar to Apple’s Find My network, it lets “Circle” members share real-time locations, set up arrival and departure alerts, and even get notified when a flight lands. Parents can retire the “text me when you get there” routine for something more automatic. On the safety front, Life360 goes further: crash detection, roadside assistance, and driver-behavior reports (think top speed, hard braking, and phone usage metrics) all live under the same roof.
