Live tracking may freeze, show incorrect driver locations, or fail to update during system degradation.
API errors for developers and partners
Uber API may return 500/503 errors, webhook failures, or timeout issues during platform outages.
Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Uber Is Down
- 1
Force close and restart the app
Kill the Uber app completely and relaunch it. Sometimes individual sessions get stuck while the platform is functional.
- 2
Check your internet connection
Switch between WiFi and mobile data to rule out local network issues affecting the Uber app.
- 3
Update your payment method
Payment processing errors can block ride requests. Verify your payment method is valid and has sufficient funds.
- 4
Clear app cache and data
On iOS: reinstall the app. On Android: clear cache in Settings > Apps > Uber > Storage.
- 5
Check for app updates
Make sure you're running the latest version of the Uber app from the App Store or Google Play.

Uber Status FAQ
Is Uber down right now?
Check status.uber.com and API Status Check for independent monitoring. If both show incidents, Uber is likely down for many users.
Why can't I request an Uber?
This could indicate platform outages, payment issues, or no available drivers. Check your payment method and wait a few minutes before retrying.
Is the Uber API down?
API outages show as 5xx errors or timeouts. Check status.uber.com for API-specific incidents and implement retry logic in your integration.
Why is Uber so slow today?
Slowness often indicates degraded performance during peak hours or partial outages. Check community reports to confirm.
Can I still track my driver during an outage?
Tracking may be delayed or unavailable during outages. Contact your driver directly via the app if possible, or wait for service to recover.
