In a bid to elevate user experience, DoorDash is preparing to introduce Live Activity support, an iOS feature that allows apps to provide real-time status updates without inundating users with multiple notifications.
This innovative move promises to streamline the way DoorDash users track their deliveries.
DoorDash Live Activity Support is Coming
According to 9to5Mac, Live Activity support will enable DoorDash to deliver a more dynamic and informative experience.
Users can expect to see delivery progress displayed directly on their iPhone Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, eliminating the need for a barrage of notifications at each step of the order journey.
The feature has become popular as a valuable tool for delivering status updates in a non-intrusive manner. This approach has been successfully employed in various contexts, from tracking sports scores to monitoring flight updates.
DoorDash is Keeping Up With Uber Eats
While DoorDash is taking steps to embrace Live Activity support, it's worth noting that Uber Eats was among the early adopters in the realm of food delivery Live Activities, having implemented this feature several months ago.
However, some users have reported mixed experiences with Uber Eats' Live Activities, highlighting the importance of a seamless and consistent approach.
It only shows that the adoption of iOS 16's Live Activity support reflects DoorDash's commitment to enhancing its services and user interface continually. This proactive stance is aimed at ensuring that DoorDash users can enjoy a streamlined and efficient tracking experience.
CarPlay App For DoorDash
Earlier in the summer, DoorDash took a step forward by introducing basic CarPlay app support for its drivers. These ongoing efforts signify DoorDash's dedication to embracing technological innovations that benefit both its customers and delivery drivers.
As DoorDash progresses toward implementing Live Activity support, users can look forward to a more user-friendly and efficient delivery tracking system, making the DoorDash experience even more delightful.
DoorDash's New Delivery Policy
This week, The US Sun reports that DoorDash rolled out a major change in its delivery policy. The move will affect some customers, mainly those who live on college campuses.
According to the new change, these people will be barred from placing certain orders. This was announced following Massachusetts' strict rules to prevent selling alcoholic drinks to underage buyers.
Not all news is about DoorDash's new changes. Back in May, DoorDash was accused of overcharging iPhone users, the lawsuit claims.
The lawsuit adds that the food delivery firm is doing this because there are studies that claim that iPhone users are richer than Android users.
Furthermore, it was also stated in the lawsuit that the fee for Expanded Range was unfair and it varies from one customer to another.
