How it works

PodPop for AirPods Max displays status based on Bluetooth signals from AirPods, AirPods Max, and some compatible Beats devices, together with Android system information. Available information may vary by AirPods or AirPods Max model, Android version, phone manufacturer behavior, and permission status.

Find AirPods is not map location tracking or precise directional navigation. It is a helper feature that uses changes in nearby Bluetooth signals to estimate whether you are getting closer. Signal strength can change depending on walls, people, bags, metal objects, and phone direction.

Permissions

• Nearby devices: used to detect nearby AirPods and check Bluetooth status.
• Location: may be required by the system for BLE scanning on Android 11 and below.
• Notifications: used for connection popups, status alerts, and monitoring notifications.
• Display over other apps: used for instant connection popups.

Privacy
