Here are the steps on how to create individual AirTag profiles:
Make sure that you are running iOS 17 or later.
Place the AirTag near your iPhone.
On your iPhone, open the Find My app.
Tap the Items tab.
Tap the + icon in the top right corner.
Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the AirTag.
When you get to the Name screen, give the AirTag a unique
name that will help you identify it.
You can also choose to add a description to the AirTag.
Tap Next.
On the Privacy screen, choose whether you want to share the
AirTag's location with your friends and family.
Tap Next.
The AirTag will now be set up with its own individual
profile.
Note: You can only create individual AirTag profiles if you
are running iOS 17 or later. If you are running an older version of iOS, you
will not be able to create individual profiles and all of your AirTags will be
grouped together under a single profile.
Note: You can also share AirTags with other people. When you
share an AirTag, the other person will be able to see its location in the Find
My app and they will also be able to receive notifications if the AirTag is
moved. To share an AirTag, open the Find My app, tap the Items tab, and then
tap the AirTag that you want to share. Tap Share and then select the people
that you want to share the AirTag with.
How do I add an owner to my AirTag?
To add an owner to your AirTag, you need to be running iOS
17 or later. Once you have updated your iPhone, follow these steps:
Open the Find My app.
Tap the Items tab.
Tap the AirTag that you want to share.
Tap Share.
Enter the Apple ID of the person you want to add as an
owner.
Tap Send.
The person you invited will receive an email with a link to
accept the invitation. Once they accept the invitation, they will be able to
see and track the AirTag in the Find My app.
Note: You can only share AirTags with people who are
using an iPhone or iPad with iOS 17 or later.
Note: You can also add an owner to your AirTag by using the
Find My app on a Mac with macOS Monterey or later. To do this, open the Find My
app on your Mac, click the Items tab, and then select the AirTag that you want
to share. Click Share and then enter the Apple ID of the person you want to add
as an owner.
Can only one person register an AirTag?
Yes, only one person can register an AirTag. When you first
set up an AirTag, you will need to use your Apple ID to register it. Once an
AirTag is registered to an Apple ID, it cannot be registered to any other Apple
ID.
If you want to share an AirTag with someone else, you can
transfer ownership of the AirTag to their Apple ID. To do this, you will need
to go to the Find My app and tap on the AirTag that you want to transfer
ownership of. Then, tap on "Details" and scroll down to the bottom of
the screen. Tap on "Transfer Ownership" and follow the instructions.
Once the AirTag has been transferred to the other person's
Apple ID, they will be able to track it using the Find My app.
Here are some reasons why Apple only allows one person to
register an AirTag:
To protect people's privacy. If anyone could register an
AirTag to their Apple ID, it could be used to track people without their
consent.
To prevent AirTags from being used for illegal purposes. For
example, AirTags could be used to track someone's movements without their
knowledge.
To make it easier for people to find their lost AirTags. If
only one person can register an AirTag, then it will be easier to identify the
owner of the AirTag if it is found.
Impacts of AirTag Profiles
AirTag Profiles are a new feature that was introduced in iOS
17. They allow you to create individual profiles for each of your AirTags, so
you can easily identify them and track them in the Find My app.
There are several impacts of AirTag Profiles:
Improved privacy: AirTag Profiles make it easier to keep
your AirTags private. When you create a profile for an AirTag, you can choose
whether or not to share its location with others. This can help to prevent your
AirTags from being used to track you without your consent.
Improved usability: AirTag Profiles make it easier to track
your AirTags. When you have multiple AirTags, it can be difficult to keep track
of them all. With AirTag Profiles, you can easily identify each of your AirTags
and see where they are located in the Find My app.
Improved security: AirTag Profiles make it more difficult
for someone to track you with an AirTag without your knowledge. When you create
a profile for an AirTag, it will emit a unique Bluetooth signal that can only be
detected by other Apple devices. This makes it more difficult for someone to
track your AirTag without your consent.
Overall, AirTag Profiles are a positive new feature that can
help to improve the privacy, usability, and security of AirTags.
Here are some additional details about the impacts of
AirTag Profiles:
Privacy: When you create an AirTag Profile, you can choose
whether or not to share the AirTag's location with others. If you choose not to
share the location, the AirTag will still be visible in the Find My app, but
only to you. This can help to prevent your AirTags from being used to track you
without your consent.
Usability: AirTag Profiles can make it easier to track your
AirTags by making it easier to identify them. When you have multiple AirTags,
it can be difficult to keep track of them all. With AirTag Profiles, you can
easily identify each of your AirTags by the name and description that you have
assigned to it.
Security: AirTag Profiles can make it more difficult for
someone to track you with an AirTag without your knowledge. When you create an
AirTag Profile, it will emit a unique Bluetooth signal that can only be
detected by other Apple devices. This makes it more difficult for someone to
track your AirTag without your consent.
