Uber sends way too many notifications
I’ve turned off the marketing notifications but am seriously considering turning off ALL notifications and just hoping I don’t miss my ride because of how many “”time sensitive”” ones they send.
For some of my common trips I get eight to nine notifications, each one interrupts me trying to get out of the house because I check to make sure my ride wasn’t cancelled.
It’s usually:
- we found you a ride
- so and so is on their way
- get ready to meet your driver
- your driver is 2 min away
- your driver is arriving
- your driver has arrived / wait time charges
- buckle up
- door opening on bike lane
- don’t forget to tip (this is arguably marketing!)
- driver thanked you for your tip (this is too!)
This is WAY TOO MUCH. I don’t care if every one is potentially useful— they need to consider the overall and reduce it somehow.
Has anyone just gone to no notifications form uber? I’m thinking about it.
