    Tile is great for finding items next to your phone.

    Airtags let you find items next to other people’s phones.

    Tile only works for tracking people if you slip the item in someone’s pocket and then explicitly follow them. That’s just normal stalking with an extra step.

      Tile is more than capable of tracking items away from your phone. They work in about the same way AirTags do.

      Edit: A word.

        Except that no one has the tile app, so it doesn’t work with any reliability. On the other hand, there’s an iPhone almost everywhere.

          Enough people have it that I’ve been able to track my wife when her phone was dead, so I wouldn’t call it useless by a long way.

          Less useful, certainly. But if I was able to track my wife on an hours long trip with one, a stalker isn’t going to have any issues doing the same.
