Based on Uber’s Lost and Found Index, smartphones are the most commonly forgotten items in their vehicles. Given the frequency of these incidents, the company has come up with several ways to help passengers get their phones back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, instead of scratching your head, asking yourself, \u201cI lost my phone in an Uber. What should I do?\u201d, you can log in to your account and contact the driver. Simply take another phone or open any browser and do the following: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Sign in to your account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Click the (\u2630) icon to open the Menu. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Tab \u201cYour trips<\/strong>\u201d and choose the trip on which you lost your phone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Scroll down and tap \u201cI lost an item<\/strong>\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Tap \u201cContact my driver about a lost item<\/strong>\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Scroll down to enter your contact number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Press Submit<\/strong> to get a callback from Uber. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If you haven\u2019t received a call, you can click on \u201cI couldn\u2019t reach my driver about a lost item<\/strong>\u201d and give all the details about our ride and missing phone. Then, you should wait for the support team to get back to you and provide updates within 24 hours. Meanwhile, you can also try other methods to find your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Lost Phone in Uber, Can\u2019t Log in to Your Account?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    If you can\u2019t log in to your own Uber account, you can try to report a lost phone using your relative or friend\u2019s phone. The process looks pretty much the same as the previous one: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Open the Uber app and go to the Menu<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Choose any trip in the \u201cYour trip<\/strong>\u201d section. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Scroll down and tap \u201cI lost an item<\/strong>\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Next, tap \u201cMy friend\/ relative lost their phone in an Uber<\/strong>\u201d. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      In such a case, you should also wait for the response from the team within 24 hours. <\/p>
