No, AirTags cannot share location in a family group

Air Tag

And this is something that seems to have been unclear to many of the users who have purchased these Apple AirTags. These devices cannot share the location in a family group and that was explained by Apple on the same day of its launch. AirTags are devices other than Apple equipment and do not allow sharing location in a family group.

Individual members of the same family group they can use the Find My app to see the location of other family members' Apple devices including iPhone, iPad, Mac, AirPods and Apple Watch, but in the case of AirTags this is not the case.

In the Apple web section within the community support forums there are several complaints in this regard as well reflected on the page Mac Rumors, showing some negative user comments on this topic. And is that Many think that AirTags could be tracked by various family members within the Search application and this is not the case.

It can be understood that within a family group there is the possibility of tracking the AirTag, but from the beginning Apple made it clear that it would not allow this follow-up.

As Apple has explained, the only AirTag privilege granted to people in an iCloud Family Sharing group is that can silence the "AirTag detected" security alert that appears when an AirTag travels with them and is registered in someone else's name. Similarly, the AirTag owner can disable security alerts to prevent someone else's iPhone from detecting it as an unwanted tracking.
