Size: The Tile Mate is right in the middle of our lineup size wise, not too big, not too small. Tile doesn’t have a similar system, so you won’t know about a nearby planted Tile unless you physically find it.The Tile Mate next to a US Quarter for size comparison A New York Times report notes, “In recent months, people have posted on TikTok, Reddit and Twitter about finding AirTags on their cars and in their belongings.” If your secretly AirTagged item is stolen instead of lost, the thief may get the alert and could, theoretically, disable the tracking or just throw away the AirTag. The Washington Post (subscription required), which extensively tested the AirTag privacy features with iPhones under that three-day window, concluded that the features Apple added to limit stalking may not deter bad behavior as much as one might hope. According to CNET, the AirTag will start beeping within eight to 24 hours of being separated from the owner’s phone (down from three days when the tracker first launched).

If you're an Android user, you can download the free Tracker Detect app to scan for AirTags that may be surreptitiously spying on you. For example, if someone tries to track you surreptitiously by throwing an AirTag into your bag, your iPhone (if you use one) will notice a foreign tracker following you around and send you an alert. Back when Apple made the AirTag announcement and released the details, the company also outlined the device’s built-in protections intended to prevent AirTags from enabling certain types of abuse. Because the location data is encrypted end-to-end, no one other than you-not even Apple-can see where your AirTag is.

On the software side, it offers a 30-day location history, unlimited sharing of your Tile trackers’ locations, and smart alerts that let you know when you’ve left home without any of your Tiles. The service includes free battery replacements shipped to you each year (for the Tile Mate and the Tile Pro), an extended warranty (from one year to three), and SMS-based support. Tile offers Tile Premium, an optional, $3-per-month (or $30-per-year) subscription plan that covers as many Tiles as you own. An app that is easy to navigate and updates location information quickly is important too. We also prefer trackers that can trigger an alarm on your phone.

Other features: A replaceable battery isn’t absolutely required, but it’s a big plus.

Despite having little space for a speaker, some of these can get quite loud.

Volume: If you’re near your tracker but can’t hear it, that’s no good.

Range: The longer the range, the farther you can be from the tracker and still be able to find your lost item.

Size: A tracker that’s too obtrusive to carry around with you or to attach to the thing you want to track is useless.

Trackers use a combination of physical speakers and digital apps to help you locate your belongings.
