How to Mute or Change the Volume of Your Tile

We all know that Tile helps you find things by ringing, making it easy for you to track down nearby lost items in seconds. But what if you want to adjust the volume of the ringer?

It's possible to use the Tile app to share Tiles with other people, like friends and family, so your loved ones can benefit from Tile technology as well. This is super useful when you want to have more people looking for lost items, or if you plan to share an item with a Tile tracker with someone you live with, like sharing the car keys with your spouse. Here's how to share a Tile: 

1. Open the Tile app.
2. Choose the Tile that you want to share with someone else from your list of Tiles.
3. Click on the “Sharing” button in the menu.
