Can you share AirTags with family members?

Can two accounts track the same airtag? Can me and my wife track the same airtag if we are in the same family account?

"...it will never happen. Apple has made AirTags impossible to share for an extremely important reason. Privacy.


If it were possible to share an AirTag, then it would be impossible to stop coercion. Someone in a domestic abuse situation could be made to share access to their AirTag and Apple has therefore prevented this.


Regrettably, the answer to everyone with a good reason to share an AirTag is the same solution that will work for anyone with a bad reason. Buy two AirTags.


True, it's more money, and you can imagine Apple is both glad about that and also figuring that the extra cash is an extra barrier to abusers. But the people arguing that you cannot share an AirTag also seem to unthinkingly assume you can't put two AirTags on an item." Source:

We added a tag to our dogs collar to help track in case she wanders off. When I took a recent golf trip with my buddies the tag chimed the whole time I was gone annoying everyone in the house. I really think there needs to be a way to share these tags amongst family…I get the potential for stalking issues, but for the rest of us this really limits the use case for the tags.
