- Viewing Last Known Location:
If your Tile Slim is out of Bluetooth range, the Tile app will display its last known location on a map. This is the last place your Tile and phone were connected.
The Tile Network can also help. If another Tile user passes within Bluetooth range of your Tile Slim, its location will be anonymously updated in your app.
