How to share an AirTag with family members

Question

I have an AirTag. I would like my wife to be able to see where it is.

We are part of a family in terms of AppleID (if I download an app, she can also install it).

Is there a way she can also access the AirTag’s location?

Answer 1

With iOS 17, you can now share Find My items with your family.

In the Find My app, select the item you want to share. Locate the section "Share This AirTag" and tap "Add Person." Complete the required prompts and the item will be shared with the selected recipients.

AirTag or other item with up to five borrowers in addition to yourself, for a total of six users per item

• Accounts need to have enabled two factor and iCloud Keychain
• Accounts don’t need to be in the same family group, but if you are in the same group as the tag owner and get a tracking notification, you can ask the owner to share the tag with you.

The recipient will need to accept the share for it to be shared with them.
