Use iPhone XS Find My app for AirTag precise location?

I have iPhone XS with updated software--does this phone support precision location in the Find My app? I have an AirTag as an Item in the Find My app on my phone. I have Precise Location turned on in the Find My app on my phone. However I do not get the "Find" option for precise location to find the AirTag--I just get "Directions" as an option. AirTag was just purchased within the last week directly from Apple.
