Can I use locate feature on my iPad when it was setup with my iPhone having the same appleID

Hi Drjoe26,

For help with using the Find My feature to track an AirTag from you iPad, check the requirements in the information below found in the article here: Set up your AirTag using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

"With AirTag, you can keep track of everyday items like your keys or a backpack. Learn how to set up your AirTag with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

What you need 

• An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 14.5 or iPadOS 14.5 or later and two-factor authentication turned on. 
• Find My turned on.
• Bluetooth turned on.
• A strong Wi-Fi or cellular connection.
• Location Services turned on: Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
• To be able to use Precision Finding and to see the most accurate location for your AirTag, turn on Location Access for Find My. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, then scroll down and tap Find My. Check While Using the App or While Using the App or Widgets. Then turn on Precise Location."

In addition to the article you started from Keep track of personal items using Find My, you can find helpful information here: Find your keys, backpack, and more with AirTag
