Cannot pre-apporve on mobile app when check in is the same day as check out

[Kuba1]

Hi! As in the subject. This only happens on the anrdoid app. 

It says that 'I cannot preapprove as the dates are no longer available'. I CAN preapprove on my laptop though without any problems. This is pretty annoying as i dont always have the laptop with me to approve the reservations and I am aware my respond time will get worse.

Thanks

Hello @Kuba1,

I've sometimes had that problem too on the Android app. When a laptop isn't available the only way is to go to the airbnb website using a browser on the phone. It's definitely fiddly and not user friendly but got the job done when I tried it.

Yes, i thought and tried that but i got airbnb set as default and the app opens every time. And it gets a bit complicated trying to reset the default app.

Hello @Kuba1,

What I meant is that you can just open your browesr directly by tapping on it and then type airbnb.com in the address bar. That bypasses the default app problem.

If you do that you get the mobile version of the website. Tap on the Airbnb stmbol to log in, switch to hosting and view messages and notifications.
