Share AirTags with Friends and Family

Communal AirTags will soon be a thing, with iOS 17 adding the ability to share any AirTag or other Find My network-enabled accessory with friends and family members.

A new “Share This AirTag” option will appear for eligible items in the Find My app, and you’ll be able to add any of your contacts to this list who are capable of receiving iMessages, although they won’t get the invite to share your AirTags unless they’re also running iOS 17, iPadOS 17, or macOS Sonoma.

While you’ll still own the AirTag, and, therefore, control who else it can be shared with, others will be able to locate it in Find My as easily as you can, including using Precision Finding and making it emit a sound. Shared AirTags will also be recognized by the iPhones and other devices of those they’re shared with, so your partner won’t get tracking notifications about an “unknown AirTag” following them when you happen to leave your bag in their car.
