Issue with sharing my listing preview link from mobile app

If I share my listing from my iPhone it appears as a url for another country where the recipient opens it - and showing that incorrect currency. I access the link from my mobile app, preview listing then share button and copy link. Airbnb produces a short code that I can send to someone by text, email or messenger. Everyone that opens it comments the same thing - it shows in AUD with an Australian url instead of NZ. Anyone else had that issue? All devices impacted are showing the correct country location (NZ) and location preferences (NZ) Searching via a website browser on a computer on Airbnb brings up an NZ url correctly. It seems to be an iPhone/Airbnb issue. Any ideas? Thanks!

You own 3 listings. The URL's can be found here:

https://www.airbnb.com/users/5092133/listings

 

They are:

- https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/show/18163031

- https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/show/643738454901782859

- https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/show/2628469

 

".com" can be changed by local Airbnb platform, like".co.nz" for New Zealand

 

Users will alsways see the listings in their default currency, as set in their profile.

(Unless URl is provided with extra params to force other language or currency).

 

Can you provide an example of the URL your sharing ?

 

It is the short link that Airbnb creates that is causing the issue. The recipients have their default setting at New Zealand and this code opens as Australia. This is the code that is sent when I share it from my iPhone whilst on the airbnb app. My iPhone setting are all correctly set to NZ. Any ideas? https://abnb.me/cvgpecaXbtb

@Jennie-And-Shaun0 I assume that is because the guests are to pay in their home currency whatever that is . I think there is an internal area where currency can be changed to the currency of the person you wish to send it to H

Thanks but these are New Zealanders opening the link - including me - when I send the link to my work computer. All devices are set to NZ - so it is a mystery why the url and currency are showing Australia!
