Share the status of your trip with friends and family so that they know when you arrive, where you are at the moment, and know information about your driver and vehicle. You can share trip status from both iPhone and Android, but the process is slightly different. On Android, you can specify up to five contacts to contact in case of an emergency, making it easier to share your location.
