Audio Recording
We understand that everyone has the right to ride and drive with confidence. That's why our focus is on developing technologies and finding ways to make our rides safer.
Safety is our priority
If you feel uncomfortable during your ride, you can now record the audio of the trip within the app itself.
Just click the security feature shield to access the audio recording option. Your conversation will be recorded in the app and you can choose to share it with Uber after the ride has ended.
Your privacy is protected
The other party in the vehicle will not be notified. All audio is encrypted and stays on your device. Neither drivers nor riders can listen to the recording.
Help Uber investigate
We take safety reports seriously. If you file one, our dedicated safety team will review the recording you attach.
