The Instacart Shopper Safety Alert feature is being launched by the grocery delivery service to help keep shoppers informed of what's going on in the area and more. The new feature is intended to leverage information gathered from local law enforcement, social media and even local news to let shoppers know in real-time what's happening in an area. This could help them to avoid a specific area or even stop shopping altogether to stay safe in the event of an emergency.
The Instacart Shopper Safety Alert feature helps to enhance shopper peace of mind and will also provide the company with the ability to pause operations in the event that something that could pose a risk to workers is taking place.
