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.


Click on this link to find out '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."

The inability to share AirTag locations with others is a MAJOR bummer. I want to tag each of our cars to help with parking, finding one another when we’re out and about, handing off the car, etc. but the fact I can’t share the location with my wife kills most of these use cases. I would be fine if Apple wanted to limit sharing to those who are in your iCloud Family, but please give us SOME ability to share locations!!

I’ve just started using AirTags and it’s been nothing but frustration so far. My wife and I share a car, and I thought it would be great if we were both able to locate our keys when we can’t find them.

Not only does the lack of support for family sharing make this natural use case totally unworkable, I now get random pointless notifications every time my wife uses the car! Today the AirTag decided my wife had stolen our car and sent a series of notifications and emails that seem downright nonsensical.

Apple, after 15 years as a customer this is the first time I’ve ever been frustrated enough to post on a forum. Please do something.
