Apple has announced that you will be able to share access to AirTags with other people.
Many other Bluetooth tracking networks, including SmartThings and Tile, allow you to share a tracker with other accounts. This way, another person can see its location at any time. Apple's Find My network hasn't had this feature since it was introduced in 2021. However, that's finally changing.
Apple said in yesterday's blog post about iOS 17, "AirTags can be shared with up to five other people, allowing friends and family to track an item in Find My. Everyone in a group will be able to see an item's location, play a sound, and use Precision Finding to help pinpoint the location of a shared AirTag when it's nearby. This also works with all other Find My network accessories."
The option to share trackers is especially useful for couples and families to quickly find each other's things. It can also be useful if you give something with Find My to a friend (like a backpack) and want to let them track it too.
The option to share Find My devices with other people is coming in the iOS 17, which is expected to arrive later this year.
