OH BABY!!! I just got the email!!
Everybody make sure you are sitting down:
Hi CityGirl,
Thanks for volunteering to test a new feature in the Uber Partner app!
Starting today, you'll have the option to try setting your own destination-a simple way to limit requests so you only get trips going your way. Instead of going offline when you're ready to end your day, now you can try entering an address so you can earn that last fare on a trip that's along a similar route toward home.
Here's how it works:
1. Tap the clipboard icon in the top-right corner. You'll notice that this menu now appears even when you're not on a trip.
2. Tap Set a destination and enter the address for where you're heading.
3. Start driving toward your destination - Uber will automatically start looking only for trips that match your route.
Keep in mind that you'll receive fewer requests once you've set a destination. That's because the app won't send you requests unless a trip will be along your route. If at any time you decide you want to go back to receiving all trip requests like normal, just tap the orange banner and use the "x" next to your destination to remove your destination.
That's it! We hope you get the chance to try it out over the next few days. We'll be in touch next week with a survey to learn about your experience and gather feedback so we can continue working to improve this feature. In the meantime, thanks again for giving it a try.
Happy driving,
The Uber Team
