Things You Should Know

  • If you can't add your AirTag to a second device, unpair the AirTag from all devices and try again.

    You can add an AirTag to a second iPhone if you're updated to iOS 17, which introduced the ability to share AirTags with family members. You must have your AirTag already added to your Find My app. If it's not already added, make sure to set it up . [1]
    • You must also have two-factor authentication turned on for your Apple ID, and the other user must have an Apple ID that's signed in to iCloud. You can't share with a child account, and the owner and all borrowers must have iCloud Keychain turned on.
