Uber is rolling out an update for senior riders this week, offering a more accessible ride share experience for individuals and families.
Part of Uber’s Family profile, the new Senior Accounts can be connected to other riders’ accounts for additional safety and payment features. Connected family members can book rides and change account settings on behalf of the rider, and contact the driver while a ride is underway.
Digital detox for the next generation, from pouches to phone-free proms
The app will get a smart redesign, too: Riders with Senior Accounts will see larger text, fewer buttons and ride options, and easy-to-follow prompts on screens, the company explained, and family members can track rides in real time. Called Simple Mode, the app experience can be turned on even without adding a Senior Account to a family profile, directly in the user’s settings.
