Mount your phone and use these instead of typing while the car is moving. Each one does the same thing as the buttons in the app, follows the same rules, and tells you out loud what happened.
The floating button (Android)
The floating button sits over Uber and Lyft, the way their own buttons do.
- Turn it on when the Shifts tab offers Turn on the floating shift button, and allow Display over other apps when Android asks.
- During a shift, tap the button to pop out the steps that fit the moment, such as Accept Uber, Accept Lyft, Passenger picked up, Complete ride or End Shift, plus Open RideshareIQ.
- Tap a step. You’ll hear the result, such as “Passenger picked up.”
- Tap anywhere else to fold the buttons away.
Drag the button anywhere; it snaps to the nearer edge and stays there. It pulses gently as a reminder when a step is due. To hide it for the rest of the shift, press and hold it.
Voice and shortcuts on Android
Long-press the RideshareIQ icon for shortcuts to Start shift, Uber ride, Lyft ride, Picked up, Complete, Cancel ride and End shift. Drag one to your home screen for a one-tap button, or run it from Google Assistant or a Bixby quick command.
Ride steps run in the background, so Uber or Lyft stays on screen. Starting or ending a shift opens RideshareIQ to do it there.
Siri on iPhone
Say any of these:
- “Start my shift in RideshareIQ”
- “Accept Uber ride in RideshareIQ” (or Lyft)
- “Passenger picked up in RideshareIQ”
- “Complete ride in RideshareIQ”
- “End my shift in RideshareIQ”
If a command can’t run
The app tells you why instead of guessing. For example: “Pick up the passenger first”, “Finish or cancel the current ride before ending your shift”, or “Your shift is running on another device.”
