Read this document 'How to reset your AirTag' --> https://support.apple.com/HT212251

"An AirTag can be associated with one Apple ID. If you want to use an AirTag that someone else has used, they need to remove the AirTag from their Apple ID first. If the previous user removed the AirTag from their Apple ID but they were out of Bluetooth range of the AirTag, then you need to reset it before you can use it with your devices."

I have read the article and this does not answer my question. I want to know if multiple iPhones can track a single tag; so replicating the ability of finding multiple phones in Find my Phone. Hence why I ask about family sharing.


The reason being, that say for example we put a tag on our family dog and she wanders off; can anyone of us linked to family sharing track and find out where she is?

Multiple phones, yes... if they all use the same Apple ID, which of course defeats the purpose of Family Sharing.
