Does Lyft automatically tip?

Tips are only given by default if riders choose to opt in. Another feature lets riders tip during their ride. Previously, you'd have to wait until your ride finished to tip, but if you're in a rush it's easy to forget to open the Lyft app after your trip. Now you'll be able to tip while your ride is fresh in your mind.
