On: Uber Now Tracks Passengers’ Locations Even After They’re Dropped Off

> How do you know Lyft doesn't do that?

They let me not let them. Lyft lets me tell iOS to share my location with it only "while using the app". Uber used to do this. But now that option has disappeared--it's only "always" or "never".

Waze doesn't allow "while using the app" either making it unusable unless you give it unfettered access to your location at all times.

As soon as they did that I stopped using Waze. My battery life also improved significantly as a result.
