Uber is improving security: New tools available for users

Uber is introducing new features to help keep users safe, including tools that can be set up to use automatically.

Here's What We Know

One of the key aspects of the innovation is a new section in the app for security settings. Users can now schedule security tools to automatically turn on based on various parameters such as time of day, location, and other factors.

Among the tools available are encrypted audio recording for privacy, as well as PIN verification and RideCheck, which helps detect unusual situations during a ride.

Currently, these features are only available in the US, Canada and Latin America, but Uber plans to expand their availability. To take advantage of the new features, users can access the security settings section of the app.
