Uber has announced a number of new updates today as it looks to enhance an easy location "Uber live location" using GPS to share there actual location at every instance between drivers and riders to help easily find each other on busy thoroughfares and junctions.

With Uber live location sharing, riders are able to opt in and share their real-time location with drivers. Riders can activate this feature by tapping the little grey icon at the bottom right-hand side of the screen — when they tap this, they’ll be asked to confirm that they’re happy to share their location, and the icon will turn blue when it’s active. This may be helpful in particularly busy locations or when it’s not immediately clear where a designated pickup spot is.

Also, Uber live location sharing feature automatically disables itself when the trip starts, it can also be manually disabled any point in time.

It’s worth noting here that this is an extension of the existing trip-tracking functionality within Uber that allows riders to share their real-time location with loved ones. Elsewhere, other popular apps have also embraced live location sharing, including Google Maps, which announced such a feature in March, followed by Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp.
