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
