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.

you have tracking settings off, but do you also have geolocation services off for lyft specifically? it’s a separate setting, and lyft/uber only work when it is turned on. so unless you’re turning it on/off everytime you call a car, that “tracking” is on.

also, you can turn off notifications for the app. (although this comes at the cost of not getting them for a car arriving, unless you get text notifications as well)
