Can anyone confirm if that is the case with uber? On Android, if location isn't enabled, you can't use uber.
And before anyone claims location services are necessary to find the user and stop ddos attacks - I've ordered uber before for people in other parts of town, and I'm a signed in user with a track record of making payments.
- culturestate 11y agoYes, you can set an arbitrary point as the pickup address on Uber for iOS without Location Services.
- HappyTypist 11y agoAs much as I respect not wanting to share location, the average user tends to be quite un-tech-savvy. Say that on average users without location services enabled makes 5x more wrong requests - that can result in hundreds of thousands of lost driver hours.
- rdancer 11y agoYes, and if that were a problem, we would not have Uber for iOS. There are whole classes of apps that cannot be made for iOS (it used to be the case of custom keyboards & ad blockers, for example). Because security in general, and privacy in particular, are non-negotiable on iOS.
