With iOS 17, you can share an AirTag or a third-party item that works with Find My with a borrower without resetting it. The borrower can track it through their phone without getting any tracking notifications.
However, you must meet the following requirements.
- Enable two-factor authentication for your Apple ID.
- The borrower must have an Apple ID and sign in to iCloud.
- You (the owner) and the borrower must have iCloud Keychain enabled.
Here’s how you can share an AirTag without resetting.
- Head to the Items menu in the Find My app and select the device’s name.
- Press “Add Person” under “Share This AirTag.”
- Hit “Continue” and choose the user you want to share the tracker with.
- Tap “Send,” and the person will receive a notification to add the AirTag to their Find My network.
You can share an AirTag with up to five people, except for users with child accounts. If you change your mind, just head to the Items section, tap on the AirTag’s name, and under “Share This AirTag,” hit the person’s name to select Stop Sharing.
