Hi

Just installed 2 AirTags with my iPhone. They work great!
But i cannot see the AirTags on my MacBook or iPad (14.5). I'm logged in with the same AppleId as on the iPhone. Anyone has the same behaviour?

I have the same issue where 3 airtags I setup on my iPhone are not visible on my work iPhone that is logged in to the same Apple/iCloud ID.
 
Same issue. I can see the airtags on my iphone and ipad but not on my intel macs...All of my devices are up to date - ios & ipados 14.5, macos 11.3, etc.
 
Same here. Where they don't show up though is in FindMy on iCloud.com - even though Apple indicates you can use that. Which means if you are without your iDevice.... you can't find anything (e.g., your phone and laptop got taken or left somewhere in the same backpack). Hmmmm...
 
I had the issue but it solved.
I disabled "Find my Mac" in my Mac settings, then I re-enable it.
Now my AirTags are available on my Mac

I am happy to report that my AirTags are showing on all my devices (see siggy). At first, I thought they weren't until I realized that on the Mac in the Find My App you have to select the "Items" tab to see the AirTags.
 
My airtags are showing up on phone and ipad but not my mac. Have checked location services off and on but nothing so far
EDIT: Just upgraded to 11.4 and they are there now.

So the airtags are only visible on the Mac if youre running Big Sur? I am currently running Catalina on all my Macs.
correct, they don't work on an OS that had already been replaced by the time the tags were released.

This worked for me after turning on "Find my Mac" - it was somehow disabled, as soon as it was enabled (following a restart of my Mac), it worked.
