After having sent numerous emails to Uber and having them replying back to try to help fix the issue of not being able to downloaded the current version of the Uber partner app, it was suggested to me by a representative by the name of Jake(from Uber not State Farm) that I visit my local Uber support center! I have been wanting to talk to someone in person to show exactly what I was up a against! I did so, last night after getting off from my day job. Lo and behold, after reading the emails, the Uber rep starting trouble shooting my phone and turns out, it was a very simple fix! She disabled the VPN defender and sure enough, the download of the partner commenced! VPN defender does not recognise apps from browsers only from The App Store or Google Play and consequently when it tried to download from all the links sent to me by the reps at Uber, I kept getting the 403 forbidden messages! 😏 I bet you're asking yourself:" Why didn't you try to disable the VPN defender yourself?" Well, I did on my break at work and tried to download the partner but to no avail! The rep also turned off the Wifi(at Uber) et voila...c'est magie! IT WORKED! I gave her a hug! I was soooo happy! ☺️
Online!
I spent, maybe a total of 15 minutes in the support center from wait to leaving! The Uber rep(I wanted to get her name but felt a bit awkward about asking) got me back online and I was ready to get driving. It has been a while week since I had driven and was antsy to get back on the road. I had missed Friday, Saturday nights for driving. I make good money on those nights including tips! Bring a holiday weekend, the demand for rides is always high. You can see why I was so anxious about not being online and able to pick up rides!
Update: UberEats.
There now is an app in The App Store for UberEats but sadly, it is in limited areas. The areas are listed in the app itself check to see if your area is listed before downloading the app.
Thanks so much to all who read my blog!
