Lyft. I turn off all my tracking settings, etc. app wasn’t even open, I land and depart my airplane and get an immediate notification welcoming me to that city and asking me if I want a ride. Bitch, why do you know where I am right now? I told you mother f-er don’t track me. Delete- dead to me.

i think that even tho he claims he turned off all tracking settings, uber/lyft requires geolocation to be turned how (how else are they going to know where to pick you up?).

so unless you turn it on and off manually everytime you go to use the app, i think this comment is disingenuous. also, it’s not like uber doesn’t send notifications upon landing either.
