Can you share AirTag location with family?
I purchased some airtags to put onto many things, I am wanting to share the family members like we do for location but I cannot find where to share. Please help

You cannot.

"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."
These seems like a missed opportunity by apple - being able to share the airtag with family (or for that matter business users) seems like a pretty good idea, so long as the person it is being shared with is able to consent and opt in (and perhaps a periodic confirmation in case someone has accessed their device or approval without them knowing) - eg car keys, pets, bicycles etc
It is a bit ridiculous that these can't be shared with family members or just shared like you share your location in Find My with friends.
I have a tag on our on dog, but my wife and my daughter can't track him. That's pretty sad. Do we need to add three AirTags on my dog's collar so we can all track him? LoL.
I totally agree. Maybe an update
I just bought 8 of these, with the plan of moving away from Tile, but I now realize that they're pretty much useless to me. My wife and I share most of the things we'd want to track. Keys seem the most obvious use for AirTags, as well as the most likely item that would need to be shared. Please Apple, add sharing.
I have a car keys that we share with my wife on her Apple ID so when I need to find the keys I need to find my wife first
Just bought a 4 pack to help my mom track my dad who is starting to wander off as a result of Alzheimer's. My siblings and I have access to track his phone and thought it would be the same with AirTag! Big miss. This would reduce the stress for our whole family with the sharing ability...
Yes, Apple, please add this as a feature in a future update. Bought these to put on our dogs, and would love for both my husband and I to be able to see where they were if they ever got lost.
This is the big problem only problem Everything else is very good with tags but come on Apple enable family share At least
I love the new AirTag, but it really needs to include family sharing just like devices. It would be helpful for my wife and I to be able to use our iphones to locate a child's backpack or similar item. It would also be wonderful if Apple would build this into AppleTV remotes.

Yep, we know it sucks but you will have to find your wife first. Maybe Apple will wake up and do an update install to install to include other authorized users

I bought these for my family for safety and the ability to locate keys and my teens when driving. It seems like a waste if I can only see my keys' location and not the rest of my families. We share all of our apple service and products and this makes no sense. Apple please update this to include family sharing.
