Can You Link an AirTag to 2 Phones?

Undoubtedly, Apple’s AirTag has become a handy tool for keeping track of your belongings. People across the world use this product to track their important stuff. Apple’s AirTag is a small and versatile tracking device that can help you locate your keys, wallet, or any other item you attach it to. It syncs seamlessly with the Find My app on your iPhone, making tracking lost items easy. However, many users ask, “Can you link an AirTag to two phones?” But can you share this tracking information with another person or link the AirTag to two different phones? Let’s find out.

Yes, you can link an AirTag to two phones, but there’s a crucial condition: both phones must be logged in under the same Apple ID. This means that both phones will have access to track the same AirTag and view its location within the Find My app.

This feature can be incredibly useful for couples, families, or anyone who shares items regularly. However, it’s essential to remember that an AirTag can only be linked to one Apple ID at a time. Therefore, it cannot be simultaneously linked to two different Apple IDs.

How To Share  AirTag with Family Members

To share an AirTag’s tracking information with family members, you can utilize the Family Sharing feature on your iOS device. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Ensure that you and your family members are all part of the same Family Sharing group. This allows you to share various Apple services, including AirTag tracking.
  2. Open the Find My app on your iOS device. This app is where you manage your AirTags and track their locations.
  3. Locate the AirTag you want to share within the app. It should appear in your list of tracked items.
  4. Tap on the “People” tab within the AirTag’s details. This is where you can manage who has access to the AirTag’s location.
  5. Tap on the “Share” option and select the family member you want to share the AirTag location with. You can invite up to five people to share the AirTag with you.
  6. Once shared, everyone in the group will be able to see the AirTag’s location, play a sound to locate it, and use Precision Finding to pinpoint its exact location with ease.

Remember that, similar to linking to multiple phones, an AirTag can only be associated with one Apple ID at a time when shared with family members. It cannot be simultaneously shared with multiple Apple IDs.

Wrapping Up

Wow. That was great. I often use my AirTag to track my wallet and link my AirTag to my wife’s iPhone since I am careless about keeping stuff. However, I also ensure that my devices are logged in with the same Apple ID. Since it is also straightforward, people love using AirTag to track essential items.

Remember, when using AirTags, always respect privacy and consent when sharing tracking information with others. Technology is powerful, but it’s essential to use it responsibly. Do you often use AirTag? Do you also share with others? Share your feedback in the comment box.
