Can you share AirTags with family members?

So I delved into this a bit more for you and according to an interview that YouTuber Rene Ritchie had with Apple’s VP of iPhone Worldwide marketing, if an AirTag is being shared with an Apple ID within Family Sharing, the owner of the AirTag can disable the safety alerts to prevent their family or friends iPhone from detecting it as unwanted tracking.

In cases where an AirTag is being borrowed by an individual not in Family Sharing, the borrower can choose to disable the safety alerts.

Allowing you to share airtag with your wife (or any other human over 18) is equivalent to “TRACKING THAT PERSON”….

Mega trouble for Apple.

I respectfully disagree that they are equivalent.

Agree that allowing you to track your wife without consent is mega trouble.

But if family sharing of Airtags was set up such that two Apple IDs can track the same Airtag (eg attached to family pet), where the "owner" of the airtag is required to give consent for the airtag to be tracked by another ID.

This is no different to the fact that I can current track on Find My where my wife's phone, watch and iPad are, and my wife can see where my phone, watch and MacBook are.

So this discussion is regarding why apple do not let me and my wife both be able to track our car keys to the cars we both drive (subject to each giving each other mutual consents to track each other's keys).

No. There is no family sharing, temporary or permanent.

This is nonsense since there is shared tracking for family for the phone, mac, headphones and iPads.

To be in the family you need a common credit card and a shared address. This is not arbitrary.

I hope that this is changed soon.

No. ..Family Share is not an available feature for AirTags. Disappointing. It should be! Hopefully Apple will enable that feature soon. We use our AirTags to track pets and shared items.
