Tile Notify When Found

When you can't find your Tile on the map in the Tile app, enable the Notify When Found feature to utilize the Tile Network and get notified when your Tile is found.

When a Tile is Found 

Notify When Found is enabled when someone scans the QR code on your Tile. The finder is directed to a page where they can share their location or leave a message. The finder does not see your contact information. 

You will receive an email notification if the finder submits information.

Note: Notify When Found does not display the owner's contact information to the finder for Tile Mate, Tile Pro, Tile Slim, or Tile Sticker devices.

Tile Labels

Tile Labels work differently from other Tile devices.

If you are using a Tile Label, your contact information is shown to a finder when the QR code is scanned.
