Summary
- Uber has launched a simplified version of its app, designed to appeal to seniors and anyone looking for a less cluttered interface.
- It includes larger text, easier to find saved destinations and fewer buttons to simplify the process.
- The new version is available in Phoenix and Orlando and can be accessed by going to the app’s accessibility settings and setting up a senior account.
- There is no confirmation yet if there will be differences in ride options for seniors or if drivers will undergo additional checks.
- Uber is expanding its family profile types to include seniors, allowing family members to monitor rides and set spending limits.
- The move follows a similar initiative by Lyft, which is preparing a simplified service for seniors, set to launch later in 2025.
