Compatibility Disclaimer
It is important to note that the compatibility list depends on the phone's NFC capability.
In summary: no matter the phone or device, you can have a point stuck on the back!
Your Popqoq profile comes with a QR code so that any phone with a camera can scan and receive your contact information!
This means you can use a Popqoq card in any situation, even if your phone is not on the compatibility list!

Does my popqoq card interfere with wireless charging or MagSafe?
No! Your popqoq card will not interfere with wireless charging or MagSafe products. As always, to ensure proper operation, see "Where do I put my popqoq card?" for advice on proper placement.
Does my popqoq card work with thick phone cases?
Your popqoq card will work in most cases!
Please note that metal or very thick cases, such as those from OtterBox, may be detrimental to the popqoq card from connecting with other smartphones.
If you're currently using such a case, we suggest tapping the front of the phone (near the top for iPhone, near the middle for Android) as an alternative.
