How do I stop sharing my location with someone on Uber?

How to Stop Sharing Your Location with Someone on Uber

Uber offers a convenient location-sharing feature that allows you to share your real-time location with others, including your Uber driver. However, if you’re no longer comfortable sharing your location, you can easily disable this feature through the Uber app settings.

Steps to Stop Sharing Your Location on Uber:

1. Open the Uber App: Launch the Uber app on your smartphone.

2. Access Settings: Tap on the menu icon in the top left corner of the screen and select “Settings.”

3. Navigate to Privacy: Scroll down and tap on “Privacy.”

4. Find Location Settings: Under the “Location” section, you’ll find the “Share location with driver” setting.

5. Toggle the Setting: By default, this setting is turned on. To stop sharing your location, simply toggle the button to the “Off” position.

Once you disable this setting, Uber will no longer share your real-time location with the driver. Your driver will still be able to see your pickup and drop-off locations, but they will not have access to your precise movements during the ride.

Important Notes:

• It’s worth noting that disabling location sharing may affect the accuracy of the driver’s navigation and pickup time estimates.
• If you’re experiencing any issues with location sharing, you can contact Uber support for assistance.
