I already have Uber app on our phones. The full ios that I can see is 15.7.1 (19... I tried setting it up, it took my phone number & email address, but I stopped there. I was not sure if it would work or mess up my phone. comments please. thank You. I am 77 and it's getting harder for me to do this stuff now.
iPhone 8, iOS 15
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.

No. You need to have at least iOS 16.2 or later to use the Uber app.
Lyft, a similar ride service (and one I prefer) will work on iOS 15.0 or above. So it may be a better option if it's available where you live.
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 :)

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.

There are always people who report problems after an update. That doesn't, in most cases, mean the update caused the problem. It's also, as Phil said, rare for there to be widespread problems.
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.
Regards Gary
Do you each have your own iPhone? If so, separate accounts would be the way to go.
Yes, we each have iphone8's. Would I be able to use the same Credit Card for me & her?
Idirs, I just took a look on google and it said I need 16, but I was able to download lyft ride app from app store? No sure how to proceed now?
