I can't prove it, but I'm 99% sure Lyft did the same thing. Had a perfect rating (and was even a driver at one point), and they banned me without explanation right after I switched to GrapheneOS.
Emailed them a few times asking for the reason, and they refused to tell me.
_"Legally, we cannot release any additional information except that we found your account to be violating our Terms of Service.
We will be in touch if we are able to reopen your account in the future."_
There's absolutely nothing else that they could've misconstrued as "violating the Terms of Service."
If Uber's going down the same path, no more ride-sharing for me I guess. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Do the web apps not still work? I’ve booked Uber eats from a computer in the past, I’m imaging the phone browser version might still function. I don’t have lyft in my country to know tho.
I'll have to try next time and report back. Honestly don't use ride sharing too often. I prefer public transport.
