Once your reservation is confirmed, you can share photos in messages with your host or guest. Whether you want to share additional photos of your place with your guest or show your host the condition of their place at check-in or checkout, photos can be a valuable part of the communication process.
Note: Videos can’t be sent through messages. If you need to share a video, you can upload it to a file-sharing platform and send it as a link in messages.
