When purchasing a trackerUntil now, there were no options on the market that were natively compatible with both Android and iPhone, and you had to use the developer's own external apps to be able to run it on both systems.
However, that has changed, with companies like Chipolo, who have reportedly created their Chipolo POPa tracker that works for any phone, easy to use and with features very similar to Apple's AirTag, so it can be a good alternative option.
Chipolo POP: multi-platform tracker
The Chipolo POP is a new Bluetooth tracker that stands out for its compatibility with both the network Find My from Apple as with the network Find My Device from Google, although, logically, it can only be used with one of them at a time, however, it is the perfect gift, regardless of the device we have, or if we change the system in the future.
Main features:
- Cross Compatibility: Works with the app Look for from Apple (iOS 14.5 or higher) and with Find My Device from Google, without having to choose specific versions.
- Colorful and practical design: Available in six colors (blue, yellow, red, white, green and black) and with a built-in hole for easy placement on keychains or backpacks.
- Technical improvements:
- 120 dB alarm.
- Bluetooth range up to 300 feet (approximately 91 meters).
- Dust and water resistance with IP55 certification.
- Replaceable CR2032 battery with estimated life of one year.
- Additional features with the Chipolo app:
- Alert sound customization.
- Notifications when you forget an item.
- Use as a remote camera shutter release.
- Ability to make your phone ring even if it is silent.
This leaves us with a good taste in our mouths, at least in the theoretical part, since it is very similar to the AirTag, but also working on Android, and with different colors and designs, so if we don't like the typical white and round Apple, this is another option.
Its initial price is around 35 euros, something similar to AirTags on websites like Amazon, however, if we like it, we can purchase a pack of 4 for about 105 eurosmanaging to reduce the cost of each individual one to about 26 euros, something much more profitable, both in different colors and in black.

These types of devices tend to reduce their price over time, and they have many options to go on sale at specific times, so we could get them for even a lower price, since the current one is similar to that of the AirTag, and, therefore, except for the color and design, many may opt for the originals.
And you, are you one of those who always looks for alternatives that work the same or even better, or, however, do you prefer to get the official ones and not try other types of brands, which could offer you fewer guarantees? Leave us a comment with your opinion, and if you have tried it or are going to try it, we would also like to know what you think of it, so that the rest who are hesitating can have a more realistic assessment.
