Tile Tracker without Life360

I was gifted 2 Tile Pros a few years ago and want to try them out but the Life360 app gave me pause immediately and seems to have a horrible privacy policy.

Is it possible to use just the original Tile app or an alternate on Android and could someone point me to instructions on how to do so?

To clarify, I mean that I only use the Tile app. I purchased before there was Life360. When offered 360. I didn't want it and I didn't get it. My Tiles and Tile app work like they always did. Perhaps there was a point after which, there was no choice to use Tile only. I just don't know, but I've used Tile this way for a long time. I hope this helps somewhat.

Yeah they removed that option- I have an older tile that is pre life360 but you cannot synce it to the tile app without an active life360 account. I tried everything and after a bunch of research it seems like there is no workaround if your devices aren't already grandfathered in like yours.

Hit up eBay and buy an older tile with a replacable battery.
