Introducing the Vibrant Chipolo POP: An AirTag Alternative Compatible with Android Devices

The latest Chipolo POP is a vibrant tracking tag that is compatible with both Apple’s Find My and Google’s Find My Device networks. Unlike the AirTag, it features a built-in hole for convenient attachment to keychains and bags.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Chipolo’s Find My-compatible trackers; we reviewed one back in 2021. However, this new version allows for cross-platform compatibility without needing a dedicated app …

Apple revealed in 2020 its intention to open the Find My network to third-party trackers. Chipolo was the first company to release an AirTag alternative after that announcement.

The issue with previous models was that users had to choose between an Apple-exclusive version compatible with Find My and a cross-platform option requiring the Chipolo app.

The new Chipolo POP is designed to work seamlessly with both Find My and the Android counterpart, eliminating the need for a companion app—though some additional features are available through it.

Chipolo POP is a more adaptable finder that works with both the Apple Find My app and Google’s Find My Device app.

Enhancements include a louder ringtone, increased range, IP55-rated dust and water resistance, along with eco-friendly materials.

All Chipolo key finders are powered by a replaceable coin battery with a lifespan of up to 12 months.

The name likely signifies the variety of colorful options offered in the series:

  • Blue
  • Yellow
  • Red
  • White
  • Green
  • Black

You might still want to download the app to access features such as locating your iPhone.

Press the Chipolo twice to make your phone ring! Download the free Chipolo companion app for enhanced finding capabilities.

Starting at $29, the POP is compatible with any iPhone running iOS 14.5 or newer. They can be purchased individually or in packs of four or six, with the multipacks offering free shipping. Delivery begins on Thursday, and they are expected to be available on the company’s Amazon store by the end of the week.
