Unable to View Location of Shared AirTag on iOS 17.1.2

Same issue for me, my wife and son. We removed the AirTags shared and then reshared again. The AirTags in my Find My that i shared with them won’t show my AirTags location to them. The AirTags they shared with me do not show location in my Find My. Some issue with shared AirTags location. This started last Friday December 8th.

Apple support told me that this is a known issue and they are working on to fix it with next iOS update. I don’t know if she meant iOS 17.2 or iOS 18 though.

iOS 17.2 will release soon and lets see, if that fix the issue or else, in future updates. I wish apple proactively publish this, so that customers are aware than calling apple support.

I’ve given up on Apple. IOS is now incredibly unreliable. If you need to rely on shared items in find my, you are out of luck. I have several items my wife shares with me. 5 minutes after they show up in my find my shared with me list, they disappear rending the whole concept of find my irrelevant.

And yes, I am under the threshold of max items in find my. It’s sad to see how far quality and usability has fallen. And each new patch breaks more than it fixes. They make good hardware, but that doesn’t t matter when you absolutely can not trust the integrity of the OS. I can wait to rid myself of every single Apple product I own. It’s a sad shadow of what it used to be. I know many Apple loyalists abandoning their products in droves.

iOS 17.2 update has not fixed the issue.

Same problem. Both phones on 17.2. Main device shows location, on the other phone, with the shared AirTag, no location found.

Looks like it takes some time. Shared AirTag can be found now.
