Can You Share an AirTag™ Location with Others?
Sharing is caring, especially when keeping track of your valuables. AirTags™, Apple's Bluetooth tracking devices, have gained traction among iOS users. But many wonder: can you share an AirTag with multiple users? And what if some of those users are on Android? In this article, we dig deep into these questions and contrast the sharing capabilities of AirTags with Tile trackers.
Are you interested in exploring the sharing capabilities of tracking devices? Stick around, and we've got you covered!
Can AirTag Locations Be Shared with Android Users?
The short answer is no. Apple currently does not support sharing AirTag locations with Android users. So, suppose you're an Apple user, and you have friends or family members using Android devices. In that case, you won't be able to share AirTag location information with them using the current features available.
Can AirTags Be Shared With Multiple Users?
Yes, as of iOS 17, Apple allows AirTags to be shared among family members. But here's the catch: the sharing feature is restricted to Apple users only. Additionally, this feature is only available for phones using iOS 17.
Phones such as the iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and any version of the iPhone older than these will NOT support iOS 17. If you have one of these phones, or someone you would like to share an Airtag with has one of these phones, you will not be able to share an Airtag location with them.
Additionally, suppose your family uses a mix of older iPhones, newer iPhones, and Android devices. In that case, you may wonder if there is a way we can bridge the gap when it comes to tracker location sharing. Let's explore that next as we discuss Tile Bluetooth trackers.
Share Locations Across Devices With Tile Trackers
This is where Tile comes into play. Tile offers various tracking plans, allowing sharing across iOS and Android platforms.
