One of the most commonly known and used cab-hailing apps on the planet, Uber offers a slew of features to help make the experience as convenient, streamlined and flexible as it possibly can for its users.
Generally, the app uses location data your phone’s GPS sensor to determine where to send the cab, but you can manually change the location too. Now while the app does ask you to set a pickup location before getting a ride, you can do this after booking a ride too.
This can come in really handy if you have a spotty GPS signal, or if you’re stuck in a tight place and would rather have your ride waiting at a more convenient spot, which isn’t exactly your phone’s GPS location.
In this article, we’re going to take a look at how you can change your location for your Uber ride.
