> Well you can have the iPad share its location ... that's a thing. As a member of my family account, his iPad does share its location. But only for 24 hours after the battery dies, at which point Apple will no longer show you were it was last found. And since it's only a WiFi iPad, it'll only report when attached to a network it knows about. And even in perfect circumstances, it doesn't work worth a crap. My daughter 'lost' her iPad last night and asked me to beep it. So I did. "Find My" said "playing sound" for maybe 10 seconds and then just stopped, without any further notice. It told me it last saw the iPad two hours previously, so I told my daughter it may have run out of battery. She found it a couple minutes later in my wife's office. 80% battery. In our house, attached to our WiFi. She came up and played with it a while sitting behind me in my office. "Find My" still couldn't see it. This morning, about 10AM, while my daughter was in school and her iPad was sitting on the charger, it started beeping to be found. LMAO. Thanks Apple, for nothing. They should put a rechargeable AirTag in the iPad somewhere. With all the usual features. Then I could tell you where my son's iPad is right now, and I could make it noisy, even though the battery died a few days ago and he doesn't know where it is. We think it might have gotten swiped by the neighbor kid, but we'll probably never find out since it's a game of eliminating possibilities, not positively finding the device. Since he didn't mention that it was missing until more than 24 hours after it was last seen, I can't even say for sure he lost it in our house somewhere. Such a misfeature.
