Find Nearby missing for AirTags, despite Precise Location enabled

I can't see the 'Find Nearby' option for my AirTags on my iPad

I've checked location services and 'Precise Location' in enabled for the Find My app

I've tried unpairing and resetting and AirTags.

They seem to connect fine and I can see the aprox 'location' on the map.

I can even ask them to play the sound.

I just don't see the 'Find Nearby' option to track a device once you're at the correct address.

NB: This is on a 7th Generation iPad (OS updated to 16.3.1).

I don't own an iPhone.

I haven't seen anywhere that this feature isn't available on iPads.

iPad, iPadOS 16

The Precision Finding is reliant upon UWB (UltraWideBand) - this being exclusive to some models of iPhone.

There are no iPad models equipped with UWB radios.

Ultra Wideband is available on iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 models. Ultra Wideband isn't available in all countries or regions, and is subject to international regulatory requirements that require it to be turned off in certain locations.
