SEND STATUS: SHARING YOUR JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS & FAMILY
Send Status feature enables riders in Kochi to share details about their driver and vehicle – including live GPS tracking, driver photo, name and vehicle license number – with family and friends.
With this new feature, riders can also send trip details to up to five pre-selected contacts with just two taps of a button. Send Status makes it even easier for friends and family to pinpoint your exact location and track trip progress in real time — from start to finish.
Here’s how to quickly “Send Status” to a pre-selected group of your family and friends:
If you are using the old app version:
- Set up your list of contacts
In the Uber app settings, you can select up to 5 of your preferred contacts - Request a ride as usual
- Before your driver arrives or at any point during your journey, tap ‘Send Status’
Your pre-selected list of contacts will receive a link to view your trip status live as soon as you hit send (no SMS fees charged). You can also add additional contacts to share your trip details with at this point.
