Uber now lets you change location after booking

Uber has announced that riders can now update their pick up location after they’ve requested a ride, if they happened to request from the wrong place. With this new feature, riders can now conveniently redirect their driver partner to correct location through the app, even when the driver is en-route.

Riders in India, on iOS and android, can update their pickup location after they’ve booked a ride. This feature has been piloted in a handful of cities and it was found that it led to less stress and fewer cancellations -- saving time and headaches for everyone involved. This feature will be made available to all riders across the India in the coming weeks.

Here’s how it works:

• Once your driver is en route, tap “edit” next to your pickup location
• Enter your new pickup address, and tap “confirm”

Once a rider updates their pickup location, drivers will:

• Be notified of the new location and have their route updated, though the experience will vary slightly for in-app and out-of-app navigation.
