How do I activate my Cheese?
With most phones, you can simply tap your phone to your product to activate it. If this doesn’t work for you immediately, check out each of our pages below for more information about how to activate each product specifically!
How to pop your info to an older iphone(7,8,X)）
To pop to an iPhone 7, iPhone 8 or iPhone X, you must use the NFC reader in their control center! See the image below for how to activate this:
My Cheese is sending me notifications constantly
Use the diagram below as a guide to where you should place your Cheese to avoid constant notifications!
Where on my phone should I place my Cheese?
Does a Cheese have to be placed on my phone?
No! Cheese can be placed anywhere you want. You can put a Cheese:
- on your laptop
- in your car
- on a restaurant table
- in your office
- in an open house
- the possibilities are endless!
The Cheese doesn't communicate to the phone it is on, it communicates to the phone it is sharing info to.
Does the other person need a Cheese or an app to receive my info？
No!Receivers are not requested an app or a Cheese to receive your info.
If their phone is on this list of compatible devices you can pop to their phone. If it is not, just use your Cheese QR code on your profile to share!
Can I have multiple Cheese devices linked to One account?
Yes you can! With the HeyCheese app, you can activate as many Cheeses as you want with the same account. Just log into the account you want to activate your Cheese with and tap "Touch me to activate" in the card you settings!
We've had users put Cheeses on their laptop, in their cars, in their offices, etc.
Will my Cheese works under my phone case？
Yes! Cheese will work through 99.9% of phone cases, including ones that hold credit cards. The only exception would be if your case has a layer of metal.
How do I share with non-compatible phones?
iPhones as old as the iPhone 5S and almost all Androids can use their camera to scan your Cheese QR code. Your Cheese QR code can be found by tapping the QR code button on the top right of your profile on Heycheese app. You can even add your Popl Card to your Apple Wallet for easy access!
You can also share your profile via text, airdrop, email or any social network by sharing the link to your Popl profile.
Will my Cheese interfere with my wireless charger?
As long as your Cheese Sticker is placed away from the charging area of your phone (an iPhone's MagSafe ring for example), wireless charging should not have any effect on the device. But if a Cheese Sticker is placed within the charging area or close enough to it, the Cheese Sticker may stop working.
We recommend placing your Cheese Sticker on the back of your phone as far away from your wireless charger as possible to avoid this!
