NEW: AUDIO RECORDING

Get added security on every ride

As part of our ongoing commitment to safety, we develop advanced tools to help provide you with added protection on every ride.

With our latest tool, Audio Recording, riders and drivers can record audio during a ride in the Lyft app. Schedule recordings in advance, or start them when you want — it’s up to you. Your recordings are private unless you choose to share with Lyft’s Safety Team.

How it works

Choose when to record

Set your preferences to record on every ride, only rides at night, or on demand. You can also start or stop recording at any point during the ride.

Your privacy is protected

Your recordings are securely encrypted and stored in the app for seven days. A recording can be accessed only by Lyft’s Safety Team — and only if you attach it to a safety report.

We prioritize safety for everyone

Both riders and drivers can record audio. If you’re matched with someone who has recordings scheduled, you’ll be notified before the ride.

Safety excellence starts with all of us

We develop safety tools like Location Sharing, ADT Emergency Help, and Smart Trip Check-In, and hold both riders and drivers to high safety standards with our Community Guidelines.
