Is the option to require a profile pic for Instant Book gone?

Yes, as a host you can require a profile pic but you won’t see it until after the booking is confirmed. Here’s instructions on how to do it.

  1. Tap Profile and then tap Switch to hosting
  2. Tap Menu, then Listings and select the listing you’d like to require a photo for
  3. Tap Booking settings > Guest requirements
  4. Enable Profile photo

If the photo does not include the guest’s face or has something unhelpful like a cartoon, you can contact Airbnb and have them cancel the booking.
