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?

I can understand some people not wanting other members of their family to see their tags (I don't know why but I'm sure some would) but I do think having the ability to allow them to be selectively shared would be very useful. We got one to put on our dog's collar so if he got out or ran off while out we could track him - but only I can see that tag which makes it useless for what we wanted. Also sharing a tag could disable the tracking warnings - although that might need the other person to accept the sharing as a backup
It wasn't missed by QA/QE. This is an intentional limitation due to privacy concerns. If it had been an actual bug a fix would have rolled out within a week.
Remember it doesn’t beep for at least eight hours and may be up to 24 hours after it is separated from the owners phone.
It so stupid that we can’t use the same air tag for 2 people. My wife and I use each other’s cars so sometimes. What about shared luggage etc? Seems like they didn’t think this through
How is it a privacy issue for "items" and not iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, etc.? I don't understand the difference. Could you explain, please?

See my response further up the thread.
That's exactly what Find my iPhone already does! That's why we wanted it for other personal stuff that could be lost or stolen.
Did they say how to disable it? All I can do is disable safety alerts which would not notify me if someone else’s airbag follows me
Sorka95032 is correct
The brief low volume sound only go off after a minimum of eight hours of being separated from the phone for up to three days between the beeps. So it is not a big deal.
AWESOME! Thank you very much for the link to give FEEDBACK ON APPLE PRODUCTS!
Extremely disappointed. Find out after they arrive. Assumed it was standard procedure with family sharing like every other Apple device. $150 down the drain should have bought Tile.
You can return them. If you don’t like it that’s what you should do. I bought four of them and I’m very happy with them but I don’t have a family plan
I have the same issue…my wife can’t walk our dog, or walk with me when I have my keys, without getting spammed with alerts. Apple really needs to fix this now.
Too bad there isn't a section for feedback for the AirTags.

Too bad you didn't just find a section such as "iPhone" and explain in the text box what you're feedback was about.
