Years after acquiring Tile, Life360 has integrated the trackers into its app
Life360, a family locator app, said today that it has fully integrated the object-tracking features of Tile into its own platform. The Life360 app can now set up and manage Tile trackers, deliver notifications when an item gets left behind and provide real-time location updates for the trackers in addition to its usual features for managing family members' safety. Life360 announced its acquisition of Tile for $205 million way back in 2021. At the time of the purchase, Life360 said Tile would continue to operate independently, but it has still been a long time coming for the two businesses to fully integrate with each other's offerings. In that time, Tile has faced challenges from competitors that have more resources at their back, such as Apple and AirTags. It was also subject to a cyberattack last year where hackers obtained customers' names, addresses, email addresses and other personal information.

Last-Minute Memorial Day Deal: Your Last Chance to Pay Just $75 for 4 Apple AirTags
The big Memorial Day sales might be over, but this Apple AirTags deal is still hanging on. Losing things like your keys or wallet is nobody's idea of a good time, and that's why Bluetooth trackers are so handy. If you have an iPhone, Apple's AirTag trackers are the go-to option for most people, and with good reason. You can put them just about anywhere, and you can even throw an AirTag in your luggage for if (or when) it gets lost during your summer travels. Unfortunately, they aren't super affordable for everyone. But right now, you can grab a four-pack of Apple AirTags for $75 during Amazon's Memorial Day sale. That brings the price down to just $19 per AirTag, but we don't expect this deal to last too much longer. AirTags are some of our favorite Bluetooth trackers. They work seamlessly with your iPhone and its Find My app with a simple one-tap pairing process. You can then throw a tracker in a pocket or luggage as is or grab an AirTag accessory to attach it to keys, a bag, a pet collar, a bike or anything else you want to keep track of. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Once set up, the AirTags will appear in the Find My app and display your items on a map so you can quickly locate them. If an item is in your vicinity, you can play a sound from the AirTag's tiny speaker with the Find My app and use the Precision Finding feature to be guided to your lost possession. This is handy if you're looking for your keys or wallet in a hotel or Airbnb as you won't be as familiar with the property yet. Simply follow the sound to your missing item. If you lose an item outside where you're staying, you can put your AirTag in Lost mode, which enables notifications for when the AirTag is detected on the Find My network and allows you to add a message, including your phone number or email address. Each AirTag is powered by a CR2032 coin battery, four of which are included with your purchase. The batteries last around a year before you need to replace them. AirTags are rated IP67, making them water- and dust-resistant, so you don't have to worry about damage if they're exposed to the elements, which let's face it, is a higher chance when you're on vacation Why this deal matters AirTags are an efficient, simple way to keep track of your belongings, whether you're about to travel or you know someone who constantly loses their wallet or keys. Since the Memorial Day weekend is officially over, these AirTags might not stay on sale for too much longer. In fact, this deal could even expire or sell out at any moment, so grab yours now if you're interested.

New penalties for using tracking devices like AirTags to commit crimes set to take effect
New penalties for criminals that use tracking devices like AirTags to help them commit crimes will soon hit the books in Florida. An AirTag is just $25 and is small enough to be dropped into a purse or tossed into a vehicle without someone's knowledge. Back in 2022, Action News Jax spoke with Jessica Egger, the mother of a University of North Florida student who was alerted a tracker had been detected on her car. 'It was petrifying. Think as the days go on, and we don't really have any clear answers, it's even scarier,' Egger said at the time. Last year, lawmakers made it a third-degree felony to track another person with devices like AirTags without their consent. Now, starting July 1, criminals who use the trackers to help commit dangerous crimes will face even an harsher punishment. 'Before you had this technology, you think about the effort that had to take place to stalk someone. Now, you can buy one of these things on the internet and have it sent to you and drop it in somebody's purse or drop it in their car in a matter of seconds,' State Sen. Tom Leek (R-St. Augustine) said. [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks] Leek sponsored the legislation, which was just signed by the Governor. Under the new law, use of an AirTag or similar device to commit 26 various crimes like stalking, domestic violence, and human trafficking will carry the weight of a second-degree felony, which can land a person 15 years in prison. 'We're trying to catch it. We're trying to stay in front of it. And I think it'll do a lot of good for a lot of people, just simply because the technology is so readily available. It's so easy to misuse it,' Leek said. 'This is going to be the right bill for the time.' [SIGN UP: Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter] Leek noted most phones will automatically alert you if a Bluetooth tracking device like an AirTag is detected moving with you. He said if you don't recognize the device, it's important to call police and locate the device. Leek added it's also important to hold onto the device, so it can be handed over to police to help them identify who the device belongs to.
