How to Share an AirTag With Others

Sharing an AirTag with others can be a convenient and efficient way to keep track of your belongings. Whether you want to share it with family members or friends, this guide will walk you through the simple steps to get started.

Launching the Find My app

The first step in sharing an AirTag with others is to launch the Find My app on your iOS or iPadOS device. This app allows you to track the location of your AirTags and share them with others. Once you have the app open, look for the AirTag you wish to share in the list of devices. This will be a device that is associated with your Apple ID and is set up with the Find My app.

Adding a contact

After locating the AirTag you want to share, select it from the list of devices in the Find My app. Once you have selected the AirTag, you will see an option to "Add Contact." Tap on this option to proceed with sharing the AirTag.

Sharing the AirTag

To share the AirTag, you will need to type in the name of the contact you want to share it with. This can be a family member, friend, or anyone else you trust to have access to the AirTag's location. Once you have entered the contact's name, click on "Continue" to proceed with the sharing process.

Sending the AirTag

Once you have selected the contact you want to share the AirTag with, the AirTag will be sent to them. They will receive a notification on their iOS or iPadOS device, along with instructions on how to accept and set up their access to the AirTag. It's important to note that the person you are sharing the AirTag with must have an iOS or iPadOS device with the Find My app installed.

Revoking someone's access

If you need to revoke someone's access to the AirTag, you can easily do so through the Find My app. Simply tap on the name of the person you want to revoke access from in the "Share This AirTag" section. This will bring up their contact information and an option to "Remove" them. Once you tap on "Remove," you will be prompted to confirm the action by tapping "Stop Sharing." This will immediately revoke their access to the AirTag.

Enjoy hassle-free sharing

Sharing an AirTag is easy and convenient, especially for items that are frequently used by multiple people. With the Find My app and the ability to share AirTags, you no longer have to worry about constantly checking the location of your belongings. Shared users will receive tracking notifications only when necessary, saving you time and effort.

Limitations of sharing

While sharing an AirTag is a great feature, it's important to keep in mind that there are some limitations. Currently, you can only share an AirTag with up to five users at a time. This means that if you need to share the AirTag with more than five people, you will need to remove one of the existing shared users before adding a new one.

Sharing an AirTag is a breeze with just a few simple steps. Now you can ensure that your important belongings are always within reach of those who need them most. Whether it's sharing an AirTag with family members or friends, the Find My app makes it easy to track and share your belongings. Try it out today and experience hassle-free tracking like never before!
