The newest revelation about Uber adds an extra layer of creepiness

If you live in a city where Uber operates, there's a good chance you'll be familiar with the transportation service, and indeed you may have even used it.

There have also been some horror stories in the past, though this isn't necessarily out of sync with any other transport company. We've heard about the guy who was charged more than £100 for what should have been a £15 trip, though he was refunded, according to Uber. More worrying, however, is the fact that the app knows when your battery is running low and reportedly uses that to its advantage. And the latest Uber-related development has people even more concerned, as it has emerged that it now tracks your location even when you're not travelling - specifically for up to five minutes after a journey has ended. https://twitter.com/Uber_Support/status/805684787860176896 https://twitter.com/Uber_Support/status/805684789323952128 According to the Daily Telegraph, the new feature is designed to stop drivers overcharging passengers by falsifying the time that a journey ends. And, while some apps will allow you to have location services switched on only when you're actually using the app, this is not currently an option with Uber. More than a few people have hit out at the feature, with plenty of complaints describing it as 'creepy'. https://twitter.com/KevinFrankish/status/805805445889847296 https://twitter.com/LS2X/status/805790633222897665 https://twitter.com/VanessaBrownTV/status/805789470087925760 https://twitter.com/TheRealJimSorgi/status/805801693715820545 https://twitter.com/nishanttotla/status/804755074081660929 Catch up with this week's episode of Football Friday Live
