Set up Airtag with two people

How do I set up Airtag with more than one person. It's not allowing me to send to another iPhone so we are both able to track.

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."

I guess I was really asking how two different Apple IDs can access the same AirTag. I bought them for my dogs so I wanted to have more than just one Apple ID access/track the tags. It looks like Apple has blocked the ability for two people to track the the Airtags, not sure why since this is a great use of the AirTag.

Apple doesn't say why but I can think up several scenarios where that might be a privacy issue and until they can find a way to resolve that they may not want to enable that feature.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.

If you want to, you can send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner. Pick the closest topic you can find.
