Yes, aluminum foil can be used in an air fryer, but placement matters. An air fryer needs moving air to cook properly.
Can you put foil in an air fryer?
TL;DR
Yes. Foil can go in an air fryer, but do not block airflow or leave it loose.

Keep foil in the basket where food can hold it down. Loose foil can move around and cause problems.
Do not cover the whole basket because that blocks airflow. That can make food cook unevenly and defeat the point of the air fryer.
Avoid using foil with very acidic foods like tomato or lemon heavy marinades because they can react with aluminum.
Foil is fine in many air fryer meals, but use it carefully and keep the airflow open.
