Uber has added a new audio recording function to its phone app in Canada, billed as an optional safety feature in case of an incident during a trip.
The company says Uber users can turn on audio recording in the Safety Toolkit section of the app. Once active, they will have the option to record audio during a trip by tapping the blue shield icon.Audio recording will automatically stop shortly after the ride ends, or users can start and stop it themselves.
For those worried about Uber listening to your conversations while on a trip, the company says recordings will be stored in the app and nobody but you can hear them – including Uber itself – unless a safety incident is reported.
