Uber is preparing to launch a simpler version of its app to serve its elderly customers.

Thinking about the challenges elderly people face when interacting with technology, Uber is testing the simplified app version in the United States.

In this way, elderly customers will have their own Uber app. The app will have the same functions as the original but with fewer features and a more intuitive interface.

With larger text to make reading easier, the Uber app for seniors will also have an easier way to find favorite destinations and the ability to save these destinations with nicknames, such as “daughter’s house.”

It is important to remember that, for now, the app will only be available in a few cities in the U.S. However, if the tests are successful, Uber may implement the new app in other parts of the world.
