Tile Smart Alerts will let you know if you've left an object behind

Tile's Bluetooth trackers are designed to help you locate lost products. But the company looks to expand that feature further by reintroducing "Smart Alerts." Currently in beta, Smart Alerts will automatically let you know when you've left behind an item with a tracker for five minutes. You can set "safe zones," so it doesn't alert you when, for example, you leave your purse with the Tile tracker at home.

You will, however, need to pay to get the feature. Smart Alerts beta requires the $34.99 a year subscription fee. But if you're forgetful enough, this expense might be worth it. Tile will be pushing out the beta in December.

Customize your Bitmoji's avatar with the new 'Mix and Match' feature

It's now easier to customize your Bitmoji to a look that you want with the app's new Mix and Match feature. You can now select each piece of clothing with different styles and colours for tops, bottoms, footwear, outerwear, and even socks.

Once you download or update the app, you can access Mix and Match by tapping on the fashion icon to open the Avatar Designer. The bottom navigation will show new icons for each clothing item. On Snapchat, the feature is accessible through your profile. Head to the Bitmoji option and select Change Outfit. The app is available on both iOS and Android.

Uber Eats' allergy filters help keep your dining experience safe and enjoyable

You may or may not know this, but Uber Eats has a section that lets you filter out any allergies or dietary restrictions you might have. Instead of using the Special Instructions section of the app, you can now specify your needs through the Allergy section. The app will also let you filter through different restaurants based on your dietary preferences.

Restaurants will be able to identify allergies and take the necessary precautions when processing an order. If a restaurant can't accommodate your request, they can message you to let you choose other options that fit your restrictions.
