Streamlined Ride Pickups

Uber Enhanced The Pick Up and Translation Features for All Users

— February 28, 2020 — Tech
Uber recently updated the app in order to improve and streamline the ride pickups process. This was accomplished by improving the ride arrival system, as well as adding in translation features. Uber users will now also receive notifications to make sure they are at the correct pickup location.

The new translation tools allow riders and drivers who may not speak the same language to communicate. The tool can be used by pressing a button that will translate messages into any of the 100 supported languages on the platform.

The new updates to Uber will be released over the next few days to all users around the globe. The new features could streamline the ride pickup process, and ensure trips run smoothly.
