Common Product Concerns
-
I am signed into the Tile app on both my PC/laptop and phone, but I can’t find my PC in the app.
-
-
Only devices that have the Tile module preinstalled will be able to be activated with Find with Tile PC. If you do not see your PC or Windows device listed on the Tile mobile app, the feature is unavailable for your device.
-
-
-
I switched my Windows PC or laptop on and it played a tune/beeped.
-
-
This is an indication that you have a Tile-enabled device. This is normal, especially if it's the first time you switched your PC on. The tune/beep will stop shortly.
-
-
-
My Windows PC or laptop played/beep but I am not logged in or do not have a Tile account.

You still need to complete the sign-in/sign-up process. During this process, you will fully activate your Tile module and register it to your user profile.

I am unable to activate Tile on my Windows device.
