iOS17 introduced the ability to share your air tags with friends and family. To do this simply open the Find My app on your iPhone, tap on Items in the menu, followed by the AirTag you wish to share. This will bring up the different menu options for your AirTag, one of them being the ability to Add a Person to share it with. You can choose up to five people from your contacts list to share your AirTag with. If you don’t see the person listed here it’s likely because they do not meet Apple’s sharing requirements.
Firstly their apple account must have two-factor authentication enabled. The person cannot be a child. And both you and the person you’re sharing with must have iCloud Keychain enabled in Settings. To check this open Settings, click on your Apple ID, followed by iCloud and this option should be enabled.
Having added the person or persons you wish to share with click share.
They will then receive a notification confirming that you’ve shared your AirTag with them. Tapping on the notification will open Find My on their phone, where they can tap on Add to bring up this screen and then tap Add again to confirm. Your AirTag is now shared and the person you’ve shared it with has the same options to find the tag as you do.
If at any time you wish to stop sharing. You simply scroll down through your AirTag options and tap here. Confirm you wish to stop sharing and that’s it, you’ll no longer be sharing your AirTag.

Thank you. I was unaware of Apple's two-factor and Keychain requirement.

[@Unerty]

Same. Two-factor auth sucks.

[@sorka95032]

No such option on my iphone. I have the latest version of 17 currently.

[@josiahhumber4775]

If the AirTag is successfully shared but the AirTag says “No location found” why do you think this would be?

[@FacultyofApps]

Hmmm... weird. Sounds like it might be a bug... www.reddit.com/r/AirTags/comments/152keh2/why_is_my_airtag_saying_no_location_found/

[@atyani5]

Exactly the same issue I have … I hope that there’s any solution

[@atyani5]

Currently facing the same problem as the others here.
Shared AirTags are saying that no location can be found or that Air lags cannot be reached. However primary paired device can locate, ring, and track them AirTags, it's just the shared account cant see them. Assuming on Apple servers end, since it could not be the Bluetooth.

[@talu1999]

Same issue here not able to see the location of the shared tag

[@xanvondi6160]

yeah same problem here…my phone sees the location just fine, but the shared phone says „no location found“…have not found a solution yet

[@Neo666233]

Good video! But what iOS 17.x.x has this feature?

[@jovanwilliamson5939]

If someone share their AirTag’s location with me, are they able to see my location?

[@truesightgrabber]

Strange, got no share option for my AirTag

[@DirtOficial1]

Same

[@BenRitchie]

Same here

[@gabrielq.906]

Why do none of my AirTags have a share option at all like the button does not exist at all on 2 different iPads. All those things are turned on too.

[@imlilaudio]

Mine too

[@wilierlizard5249]

Same

[@florenciacolonperez716]

same

[@mudina011]

Damn mine is same :((((

[@hartake6667]

Looks like it only works for 6th generation or higher iPads. I have a 5th gen and the max OS is 16.7.4 for updates. Newer generations have IOS 17 software..dumb
