How do I stop sharing my ride on Uber?

How to stop sharing. While you're online, you'll see a check mark next to the blue shield. Tap to open the shield, then tap Stop to stop sharing.



To stop sharing your live trip status on Uber, you need to manage the "Follow My Ride" or "Share My Trip" feature within the app. While on an active trip, you can tap the blue shield icon (the Safety Toolkit) on the main map screen. From there, select "Share My Trip" and simply toggle the feature off or tap "Stop Sharing" to immediately end the live location broadcast to your trusted contacts. If you want to permanently remove someone from seeing your future trips, you must go to your Account menu, select Settings, then tap Safety, and finally Trusted Contacts. From this list, you can remove individuals or adjust the settings so that your trips are only shared during specific times (like at night) rather than for every single ride. This ensures you maintain full control over your privacy once you no longer feel the need for an extra layer of security.
