Will a family member be able to track my AirTag?

If you’re wondering if you can share an AirTag so other family members can track an item with you, such as viewing it’s location - I don’t think Apple has released a feature for that yet.

If you’re concerned that a family member could use an AirTag to track you from their side of the “Find My” app, this would be hard to due given that you can’t “share” access to an AirTag. You would also receive an alert that the AirTag is following you. I think Apple specifically avoided adding this feature for privacy and security reasons.

Even if it were possible, and other family members were using the same Apple ID as you, currently as of now Apple has only allowed for tracking from the current device you registered the AirTags with. As an example, even if you use Find My on your iPad or Mac - you wouldn’t be able to track your AirTags, except the device you registered or set them up on.

Hopefully this sort of answers your question!

For sure, I think it would be a convenient feature. There are other trackers you can look into third party vendor and manufacturers, that use Apple's Find My Network technology. I believe some of these trackers allow you to share a tracker so family members can use and view them too. I don't think it's likely Apple would release this feature currently though heavily and primarily for significant privacy and security reasons, but that may always change - and I think it'd be a cool feature to have too.

You can always request Apple to reconsider the idea although and suggest it to them here https://www.apple.com/feedback/.

What to do if you find an AirTag or get an alert that an AirTag is with you - Apple Support

It would be a helpful feature to have on the Airtags, I bought 8 of them, some are for 2 sets of family car keys. Would be a great feature to be able to choose which Airtags can be shared with the family on iCloud or with selected apple IDs.

I hope they’ll be able to add this much needed feature in a future update.
