iOS 17 finally allows users to share an AirTag with another person, through a new “Share This AirTag” option in the Find My app.
The “Share This AirTag” option allows users to invite a contact of theirs to see and track the location of the selected AirTag. The highly-requested change gets rid of the pesky tracking alerts that notify users if an AirTag not linked to their account is following them. It remains to be seen if there’s a maximum limit of how many users can be invited to share the location of a single AirTag.
