If you already have the Uber app on your iPhone, then it should still work.


The iPhone 8 won't download the newest version, but the old one should work for now, though Uber might stop supporting it at some point.


It will not mess up your phone in any way even if it doesn't work.

Thank you idirs. There is just me and my wife. I was thinking that setting up 2 accounts, one for her and one for me. Would that make sense, don't know if lyft has a family plan, and really don't know if it would be the best for us. I am thinking 2 separate accounts with the same Credit Card. Your comments are most welcome, don't know what the **** I am doing :)

Thank you Phil. I really don't want to try the iso 16 update on the iphone8, I read people had a lot of problems.

I was referring to the Uber App, you did not mention thinking iOS 16 was going to mess up your iPhone in your original post.


With that said, not sure where you are seeing that iOS 16 is causing issues with iPhone 8, but it's not wide spread if it has any issues at all. Otherwise, this forum would be flooded with posts claiming that, and personally I have not seen any of that.


In any case, if the Uber app works on your iPhone then you don't need to update yet, though eventually you may need to bite the bullet, if Uber decides to stop supporting their old app version.

Thank you Phil, you answered 2 things for me. I actually was referring to my iphone 8 with ios 15 & Uber, but was reading else where that people with iphone 8 ios 15 going to 16 were having battery & other issues, nice to here from someone that has an ear on this subject regarding updating from 15 to 16


Yes, I can always bite the bullet and go for 16.
