Find My Device, Google’s recently enhanced tracking network, is intended to serve as the Android counterpart to Apple’s Find My network. The new Point tracking gadgets from Chipolo are also meant to serve as the Android equivalent of Apple AirTags. Among the first third-party tracking apps to integrate with Find My Device are the Chipolo One Point item tracker and the Chipolo CardPoint wallet finder.
I was curious to compare these trackers because I have been using Apple AirTags for a long time. Fortunately, I received a few from Chipolo for this use. In the end, I found nothing unexpected, which is fortunate.
Chipolo key points
Chipolo’s new trackers assist you in finding misplaced objects by integrating with Google’s Find My Device network. Earlier Chipolo trackers were only compatible with the Chipolo app for iOS and Android or Apple Find My, not Find My Device. The only devices compatible with Chipolo’s point trackers are Android smartphones and Google’s Find My Device app.
Two varieties of Chipolo Point trackers are available at launch. The Chipolo One Point is a tracker that fits on a keychain and is perfect for monitoring things like baggage, backpacks, and keys. Up to a year should pass before the replaceable battery inside of it needs to be changed. The design of this product is strikingly similar to that of Apple AirTags.
Mostly intended for use in a wallet, the Chipolo Card Point is a credit card-sized, flat tracker. Additionally, it can be used to monitor other objects, such passports. Before the tracker needs to be replaced, the Card Point’s long-lasting, nonreplaceable battery can last up to two years.
How they integrate with the Find My Device
I was perplexed by the configuration when I first got my Chipolo Point review trackers. At first, I assumed that you needed to configure them through the Chipolo app, which would somehow link them to Find My Device. But that is not how it operates. Everything went smoothly after I realized this.
Bringing it close to your Android device and pressing on it until a sound is heard is how you set up a tracker. A notice asking if you wish to set up the tracker then appears on the screen of your phone.
The Google Find My Device app allows you to see all of the information about the Bluetooth trackers once they are linked to your phone. Chipolo Point trackers allow you to share the tracker’s location with another person, find their current location, and sound an alert if they are close yet unlocatable. Additionally, you may view the device’s remaining battery life. Similar to AirTags, you may use your phone’s Bluetooth to activate step-by-step instructions to locate the trackers when they are close by.
It is crucial to remember that Google’s network protects user privacy by using anonymized reporting and end-to-end encryption for location data. Google’s Find My Device feature, similar to Apple Find My, will notify you if an unidentified device is tracking you. For instance, both networks discreetly notified me about each other when I fastened a Chipolo One Point to the same keychain as an AirTag.
Google pinpoints a tracker’s location using a combination of GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell tower signals.
A great tracker
It was a wise move on Google’s part to update Find My Device to enable tracking of non-Android devices. Third parties like Chipolo are finally launching helpful trackers as a result of that decision. In the upcoming months, more businesses will undoubtedly join the movement.
Both the One Point and the Card Point have really pleased me. They have a simple setup process (once you know how they operate), are reasonably priced ($28 for the One Point and $35 for the Card Point), and work flawlessly with Find My Device. Like other Chipolo trackers, I anticipate future iterations will be available in a variety of colors. I do not see any areas that require development beyond this.
