All about Apple

Apple AirTags are handy accessories for tracking personal items like keys, wallets, and luggage. With the “Share Item Location” feature, you can let others track the location of an item paired with your AirTag. See how to configure and use this functionality in a simple way.

What is the Share Item Location feature?

The “Share Item Location” feature lets you share an AirTag or other compatible item with up to five people. This way, they will be able to view and track the location of the item through the Search app, in addition to playing sounds to facilitate the search when the object is nearby.

If the person declines the invitation, the person's name is removed from the list and you will no longer see them.
