Navigating the Holidays: Consider Using AirTags to Safeguard Your Luggage While Traveling. Discover the Cost-Saving Hack: Borrow an Extra AirTag from Friends or Family. Thanks to Apple’s iOS 17, You Can Now Share AirTags with up to Five People, Making Tracking Effortless and Affordable.
Apple released AirTags in 2021 as a way to help people keep track of their valuable items, like your keys when your couch eats them. However, AirTags could be attached to only one user at a time. Until now, you couldn’t lend someone an AirTag to borrow, and if you traveled with someone who had an AirTag, you would be notified that you’re traveling with an unidentified AirTag. But that changed with iOS 17.
Here’s how to share AirTags with others
1. Open the Find My app.
2. Tap Items across the bottom of your screen.
3. Tap the AirTag you want to share with others.
4. Tap Add Person under Share This AirTag.
Your iPhone will show you a prompt that says once you’ve shared an AirTag, the people you’ve shared it with will be able to locate it and those same people will also not receive unidentified tracking notifications.
Once you’ve shared the AirTag, the other person will receive a notification to add it. All they need to do is tap the notification’s Add button, which adds the tag to their Find My app.
