From PC Mag: Tile is following Apple's lead and addressing the potential use of its tiny devices to track people without consent.
In a blog post, the company made it clear it does "not condone" the use of Tile technology to track someone's location, and "to that end, if you ever feel concerned that someone could be tracking you, we now offer a feature that allows you to determine if that tracking could be through a Tile product."
Rolling out now to anyone with the Tile app, the new Scan and Secure feature lets users find unsolicited Tiles or Tile-enabled devices that may have been slipped into your bag or attached to your car.
Bluetooth, Location or Location Services, and Precise Location must be turned on for this to work; users will be prompted to change these or any other permission settings before starting. You'll need to move a certain distance away from your original location to initiate the scan. Just walking in circles around the house won't work, apparently.
