Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Siri integration work with all of my Tiles?
Siri Shortcuts works with every Tile except the Tile Original.
Does Siri work in a similar way to Tile's Google Home Action and Alexa Skill?
No. Unlike the other Smart Assistants that can see all of your Tiles, you must record a phrase for each Tile that you'd like Siri to be able to find. This allows you to customize the phrase for each of your Tiles.
If you try to use a Siri shortcut that you have not set up, Siri will search the Apple App Store or the internet for the item you mention. For example, if you have not set up a Siri shortcut to find your camera and you say "Hey Siri, find my camera.", Siri will search the Apple App Store or the internet for cameras.
