Uber can now let them see where you're traveling in real time

[Hum]

Uber is introducing a new safety feature today that allows a family member to track where you're going. Now when you're using Uber's Family Profile feature, the family account's creator will receive a notification as soon as you start a trip; tapping it will bring them to a map inside the Uber app, showing where your ride is going in real time.

The intention is to let another member of your family following along in case things go off course, as has happened here and there in the past.

You have to switch billing methods to hide where you're going

Uber already allows riders to share real time maps of where they're traveling, but they have to specifically choose to share it and select who they want to share it with. This feature, called Trip Tracker, simplifies that by always sending a tracking map to whoever in your family created your shared account.
