The home screen has been updated to make navigation quicker, allowing customers to book trips and Uber Eats deliveries with fewer taps. The new “Services” page functions as a one-stop shop for all ride and delivery choices, streamlining the layout for easy access.
3. Activity Hub
Uber unveiled its “Activity Hub,” a central location where customers can monitor all of their orders and previous and future travels. Regular users who wish to organize their ride history and plans in an organized manner will find this option especially helpful.
4. Dark Mode
Uber now provides a dark mode for users with light sensitivity, adjusting the app’s color scheme to darker tones for comfort in low-light conditions. The feature mirrors your phone’s settings, but you can manually enable or disable it within the app.
5. Merchandise Carousel
In addition to ridesharing, the update features a product carousel that introduces consumers to other Uber services. This feature encourages customers to learn about and get enthusiastic about the various uses of Uber, including trip planning, cost savings, and exploring new services.
