Sharing an AirTag on 2 phones.

I use AirTags on my dogs collars in the chance they were to ever go missing from my yard or break free from their leash. Being able for both my partner and I to track them would be most helpful to relocate them quickly. Is it possible for 2 separate iPhones to have acccess to the AirTags without the annoyance of have to have my partner sign I to My iCloud. After all we share the same apple family sharing plan.

Sorry:


Air tags CAN be shared across multiple AppleIDs and devices. (w/ iOS 17)


I thought that the URL provided in the opening line - linking to the iOS user manual - directly answered the question.


Here is the link again: (see the requested answer under the heading, “Share an AirTag”)


Share an AirTag or other item in Find My on iPhone – Apple Support (AU)


All subsequent “commentary” was to alert you that you might find the AirTag performance in this particular application “lacking.”

FYI: Airtags generally do not perform well for tracking pets as the pet must be quite close to another telaying I phone to have the location reported. Many “loose” dogs run AWAY from strangers; obviously your own environment and pet behavior might result in different performance.


Also, when the dogs are alone w/o you and your device nearby, the tags will beep when moved. This can negatively impact an animal’s well being.
