If you want to share an item that’s paired with an AirTag (or a third-party item that works with Find My), you can share it in FindMy so the borrower can see it on a map and find it. If it’s nearby, FindMy can play a sound, and if you’re using a supported iPhone, you can find its precise location. People you’re sharing items with don’t receive tracking notifications when the items are moving with them.
You can share an AirTag or other item with up to five borrowers in addition to yourself, for a total of six users per item, as long as the following requirements are met:
Two-factor authentication must be turned on for your Apple ID.
The person you share with must have an AppleID and be signed in to iCloud with their AppleID. You can’t share with a child account.
The owner and borrowers must have iCloud Keychain turned on.
Note: You share a third-party item the same way you share an AirTag. Location sharing and finding devices aren’t available in all countries or regions.
