Tin foil was used in the past; now these foils are made from aluminium, aluminized papers, aluminized plastics.
No, titanium is not tin. Titanium (chemical symbol Ti) and tin (chemical symbol Sb) are both chemical elements. They are unique. They have different physical and chemical properties, and links are found below that you can follow to investigate the two substances.
Aluminium foil is made up of aluminum which is silvery white metal and less than 0.2 mm thick. This is fragile and easily damaged and laminated to other materials such as paper and plastic to make them useful.

Aluminium foil replaced tin foil immediately after World War II because aluminum is: easier to work (manufacture into usable artifacts), more plentiful in the Earth's crust (and therefore cheaper to produce and cheaper for YOU to buy), and has qualities that are deemed more useful.
Either Tin (Sn) or Aluminum (Al) are used in foil wrap. Hope this helps!

Tin foil used to be popular (which is why sometimes you will hear people referring to aluminum foil as "tin foil"Tin(Sn)
Aluminum and tin are two different elements. They have different physical and chemical properties. Tin is element 50. Aluminum is element 13. Tin is denser and has a lower melting point than aluminum. Tin can reach 2+ and 4+ oxidation states while aluminum can only achieve the 3+ oxidation state.

It's also called Tin Foil
Cooking foil is made from tin. Sometimes it is made from very thin sheets of aluminum. This is because it is cheaper.
