In September 2015, Tile launched a newer line of hardware that includes functionality to assist users in locating smartphones, as well as other feature upgrades.

[9] Each Tile comes with a built-in speaker, and the user is able to trigger the device to play a sound to aid in the location of items at close range.

Owners of these devices were automatically notified when the batteries were nearing depletion and were eligible to receive a discount on a replacement product.

[20] Tile's developers used Selfstarter, an open source website platform, to crowdfund the project through pre-orders.

[26] In 2024 a computer hacker acquired the credentials of a suspected former Tile employee and gained access to the company's internal tool that processes location data for law enforcement, as well as customer data such as names, addresses, emails, telephone numbers, and order information.

Other functions that were compromised include changing the email address linked to a particular device and creating administrative users.
