Summary

  • Family safety and location app, Life360, has announced deeper integration with Tile trackers, meaning users can manage the Bluetooth devices without using the Tile app at all.
  • Life360 purchased Tile’s Bluetooth device-tracking business for $205m in 2022, and the company has been gradually integrating the two ever since.
  • Along with the new integration, Life360 has reorganised its paid plans, adding the SOS Alerts feature that allows users to call 911 by tapping a compatible Tile.
  • This was previously only available with the 7.99 monthly Silver membership along with seven days of location history.
  • Life360 allows family members to see each other’s locations in real time, and offers alerts when people arrive at or leave locations, as well as crash detection and roadside assistance.
