Question 1

Can you remove a tile sticker and put it on to a new device?

Accepted Answer

I can only say that when mine fell off, I gorilla glued it to something else. But they come with stickers that are meant to stick pretty securely. I don’t think they come with extra stickers. But you can use another type of glue.

Question 2

The button on mine is really hard to push. Is that normal?

Accepted Answer

No... both of mine depress without much effort. If the button on yours is recessed into the case or it takes a lot of force to press it, the Tile is defective. hth

Question 3

does this work with the Tile Mate (2022) 1-Pack already have to help me find my car if I stick one of these in my car?

Accepted Answer

Correcting the record of what the other person recommending a competing product suggested. 
1) No, you don't have to have the Tile App open in order for the location of a tile to be updated. Just like with AirTag, you only need to open the app when you're looking for your item.
2) Other devices on the Tile network also update location of lost tiles (just like with Apple AirTag). Tile uses a network that consists of Apple and Android phones that have the tile app installed as well as Amazon Sidewalk (Echo & Ring devices). Apple AirTag uses their own "Find My" Network which includes all iOS devices. Note that it is possible to opt-out of both Sidewalk and FindMy networks, though few do.

Overall, The Find My Network has far more devices connected to it in far more places, so it's generally a better overall network with more comprehensive coverage. Tile network has fewer devices in fewer places, so location update pings are much less frequent. This is why AirTags are more popular with stalkers.

On the flip side, Tile has been doing this for much longer, and has better actual hardware. Tile hardware is available in more form-factors, with better battery life, much louder chirps, longer chirps, reverse chirps (find phone from tile) and the ability to share between family members. The only thing AirTag has is a directional seek function when you're already close to it that works with newer iPhones. If AirTag was anywhere near as loud as Tile that wouldn't be necessary.

All that said, if you've already put a Tile Mate in your car, then putting a Tile Sticker in as well won't add any benefit, as they will always be together. In this situation, if you are an iOS user, you might actually want to use an AirTag, because your car would then be on both networks for the absolute greatest amount of coverage area. And you won't care about individual hardware features because by the time you're close enough for it to matter, you have probably already found your car.
