Why does Grab need a selfie?
Grab requires periodic driver selfies to verify identity and prevent unauthorized account use. This security measure ensures that the person using the app matches the registered driver, safeguarding earnings and protecting against fraud.
Why does Grab require a selfie for verification?
Ugh, Grab’s selfie thing? So annoying. Seriously, it pops up randomly after a ride, right? Like, on July 12th, I was heading home after a gig in Bukit Bintang, and bam – selfie request.
They say it’s for security, to stop fake accounts. Makes sense, I guess. Identity theft’s a real problem, obviously.
Remember that time, though? My phone’s battery was about to die, super low, plus I was in a weirdly lit alleyway. The selfie was terrible!
Total pain, especially when you’re tired after a long day driving. It’s a necessary evil, I think, but man, is it ever clunky sometimes. Grab needs to improve that system somehow.
Do Grab drivers see your picture?
Dark out. Streetlights blurry. Thinking about… privacy. Funny how we just… give it away. Like that selfie for Grab.
They say it’s just for verification. Just to make sure it’s you. Still… sits wrong. Feels… exposed.
Remember that time… lost my wallet. Picture inside. Felt so… violated. Just a photo. But… it’s a piece of you.
- Grab drivers don’t see your picture.
- The selfie is for verification only.
- Data security… it’s a big deal now. Everything is online.
- My face… my data… out there. Floating.
- Checked my Grab settings again. Privacy… complicated. So many toggles.
Lost my phone once. 2023. All those photos… gone. Like they never existed. Makes you think… what’s really private anymore? Nothing. Probably.
Can anyone see my Uber picture?
Do they see me? Lost in the digital ether, a face floating, is it mine?
The app…a cold window, faces flicker, then gone. Who sees?
Uber shields the gaze, limits vision. Only those needed can glimpse the ghost of me. Protection. A fragile promise.
No stored essence, no biometric data held by Uber. My face, fleeting.
Microsoft, too, a vanishing act. Photos vanish, biometric data erased. Dust to dust, pixels to…nothing.
- Uber: Limits access. Shielding eyes.
- Biometric data: No storage by Uber.
- Microsoft: Deletes photos and biometric data. Gone. Erased.
Is it enough? To vanish so completely? The question lingers like static. A face, a memory, almost forgotten.
Can Uber access your camera?
Uber lacks camera access. Full stop.
Privacy: Encrypted. Deleted after seven days. No exceptions.
Safety reports? You provide access, not Uber.
Think of it: Data’s a double-edged sword. Convenience versus control.
- Automatic deletion. A feature, not a bug.
- Encryption. Standard. Should be.
- Your data. Your responsibility.
My 2023 Pixel 7 Pro? Same deal. Total control is an illusion. Always has been. Always will be.
Data is power. Someone, somewhere, always wants it.
Can I remove my picture from Uber driver?
Driver photo changes? Through the driver app, always.
- Driver app is the only way.
- Account type? Doesn’t matter. Driver = driver app edit.
- Approval needed. Always. Think of it as a gate. No pass, no photo.
Ever drove? Driver app’s still the key. Photo’s locked down. My sister needed this info, odd. Account status is irrelevant, they told me.
