Tile trackers are being fully integrated into Life360
Tile trackers are getting more deeply integrated with the Life360 app. In a blog post published this week, Life360 announced that you'll now be able to set up and manage the handy Bluetooth location trackers without using the Tile app at all. Life360, a family safety and location app, purchased Tile's Bluetooth device-tracking business for $205 million in 2022. Since then, Tiles have been part of the Life360 app, allowing you to track the location of both people and items in one app, but you still needed to use the Tile app to set up the tracking devices. As part of the transition, the Life360 app will get some of the Tile app's features, including sending an automatic push notification if you leave an item behind and the ability to see location history for Tile-tracked items. The move seems aimed at pushing Tile's users toward the Life360 app. The company told TechCrunch that the Tile app is not being retired 'at this time,' but that's not surprising, as it's likely to take a while to move customers to the new app. Considering that as of last month, the domain now redirects to the Tile app's days feel numbered. As part of the update, Life360 is also reorganizing its paid plans, adding the SOS Alerts feature that lets you call 911 by triple-tapping on a compatible Tile to its $7.99 a month Silver membership, along with seven days of location history. SOS Alerts were previously only available with the $14.99 a month Gold plan, which also allows for 30 days of location history. You can use Life360 for free to track both people and items, but you only see 2 days of location history. Life360 is a location app designed for families. Similar to Apple's Find My app, it allows authorized members of a 'Circle' to see each other's real-time locations in the app. Each member has control over whether the app shares their location, as well as how precise a view of their location other members have at any time. The service can send alerts to members of your circle when you arrive somewhere, leave somewhere, and when your flight lands. It essentially does away with all those 'text me when you get there' requests from parents and family members. Life360 offers more than just location services. It styles itself as an overall family safety app and has features such as crash detection and roadside assistance. Its paid plans also include driver reports, which show phone usage, top speed, and hard braking data. Families with teens who are tempted by this service may want to consider exactly how that data is shared before signing up for it.

SZA hit by bracelet thrown by fan while meeting crowd in new viral video
Grammy-winning singer SZA was struck by a bracelet thrown by a fan during a recent meet-and-greet moment at one of her shows, a new viral video reveals. The incident quickly sparked concern among fans and reignited discussions around concert etiquette. In the video, which surfaced online May 28, SZA — known for her soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics — is seen warmly engaging with a crowd of fans near the stage when a bracelet suddenly hits her upper body. Although she appeared visibly startled, the singer remained composed and did not react aggressively. SZA gets hit by a bracelet while meeting fans in new video. — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) May 28, 2025 The clip has since gained traction on social media, with fans expressing disappointment over the fan's actions. Many praised SZA for handling the situation with grace, while others urged concertgoers to be more mindful during live events. As of now, SZA has not issued a public statement regarding the incident, and it's unclear whether the person responsible was identified or removed from the venue. The incident follows a growing trend of fans throwing objects at performers — something artists like Bebe Rexha, Harry Styles, and Drake have also experienced in recent years. Currently on tour promoting her latest project, SOS, SZA continues to draw massive crowds across the country. Fans hope the event won't change her approach to connecting personally with audiences during shows.

Kendrick Lamar and SZA at State Farm Stadium: Ultimate Phoenix concert guide
Kendrick Lamar is bringing his Grand National Tour with SZA to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Tuesday, May 27, 2025. The tour is in support of 'GNX,' a surprise release that topped the Billboard album chart in late November 2024, Lamar's fourth consecutive release to do so. The Grand National Tour launched on April 19 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis to glowing reviews. The Minnesota Star Tribune raved, "The biggest takeaway from Saturday's Kendrick Lamar concert … was confirmation of what Twin Cities (hip-hop) lovers already suspected from his previous, smaller shows: He's the G.O.A.T.' Billboard wrote, 'If Kendrick's stage show is a masterclass of a laser-focused vision, SZA's is a revelation of creative energy.' And USA TODAY weighed in: "The pair showcased how dichotomous stagecraft and differing cadences can lead to a beautiful collision." This is the Pulitzer Prize-winning hip-hop icon's first metro Phoenix concert since 2022, when the Big Steppers Tour played Footprint Center (now PHX Arena) in downtown Phoenix in support of his "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers" album. In 2018 he brought the Top Dawg Championship Tour to Ak-Chin Pavilion (now Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre) in Phoenix. SZA headlined Footprint Center in 2024 in support of "SOS," a second album that topped the charts and made the rounds of year-end critics' lists, from BPM to Consequence and Brooklyn Vegan. The album sent five singles to the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, including the chart-topping "Kill Bill," which went five times platinum. SZA and Lamar topped Billboard's Hot 100 earlier this year with 'Luther,' and went Top 10 with '30 for 30,' adding to their list of hit collaborations. And of course people are still talking about the Super Bowl 2025 halftime show that Lamar and SZA performed in New Orleans. Here's everything you need to know about the Kendrick Lamar/SZA concert at State Farm Stadium. Kendrick Lamar and SZA will be joined at State Farm Stadium by DJ Mustard.

Man 'hit the jackpot' with rare find in Aussie bush after 86 years
A native plant thought to be extinct for over 86 years has been rediscovered, and the Aussie scientists who stumbled upon it during a rare bloom admit they were "super lucky" to be in the right place at the right time. The "elusive bush-pea" had long lived up to its name until Robert T Miller, an experienced botanist, was out on field work recently with colleagues west of Wollongong in New South Wales. They were searching through the "swampy habitat" in the Upper Nepean State Conservation Area as part of the state government's Saving our Species (SoS) program when he spotted a flower in bloom. "That one plant being in flower caught Rob's eye," Simon Lee from SOS told Yahoo News. "It was super lucky. We went back a couple of weeks later to collect a bunch of seed and the plant was no longer in flower, so it was pretty hard to find." Robert sensed he had "hit the jackpot" when he made the discovery, and when the plant was confirmed as the elusive bush-pea, the scientists were "jumping in joy" as the first and last time it was recorded was back in 1938. Since the rediscovery in October, 222 of the plants have been located and 790 seeds collected in the area — situated less than 50 kilometres from where the first ever discovery was made. "We're obviously very excited... it just shows the significance of conservation programs and the efforts across the country that lead to these really remarkable discoveries," Simon said. "I was really grateful to be out there with Rob at the time and it shows the importance of these areas, and what they can hold." Incredible discovery centimetres from train tracks leaves Aussie stunned Air crew makes exciting 'once-in-a-lifetime' discovery in outback Council workers make incredible discovery on roadside The elusive bush-pea (scientific name pultenaea elusa) is a small plant with branches up to 50 centimetres long, and it is easily overlooked among the grass swamp-like habitat where it grows. There are now extensive efforts into re-establishing the "rare" plant which is currently listed as critically endangered in the state. A Project Officer from the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Services, Alison Foster, said authorities are "committed to zero extinctions of plants and animals" and conservation programs like the SoS helps them meet this target. "Being able to quickly respond to this find with more field surveys enabled us to collect seed to help secure the future of this elusive plant," Foster said. Do you have a story tip?
