The home screen experience has been simplified to help riders book trips more easily, with fewer taps, right from the get-go. The new app also features a “Services” tab as a one-stop shop for riders to find all the product offers available in their city – from nearby Moto to Auto, Intercity, Rental, Reserve, Connect And much more. The new “Activity Hub” helps keep past and upcoming rides in one place.

The app will also share personalized recommendations for ways to plan trips and save, based on how each rider uses Uber.
For example, if a rider normally uses Uber Auto, that will likely be the first option they see. And the app will also suggest other cheaper options, the company said.

Now, with Live Activities on the lock screen, riders can easily track the live progress of their ride and get important updates like vehicle details, latest ETA information, and trip status – all on the lock screen without opening the app.
