How to change your phone number on Uber
Quick answer
In the Uber app go to Account, then Manage Uber account (or Personal info), tap your phone number, enter the new one and confirm with the SMS code sent to it. The change applies to Uber Eats too because it's the same account. If you've lost the old number and can't sign in, use email or Google sign-in if you set them up, or contact Uber support from the help pages. Use a number you'll keep, since drivers and couriers contact you through it.
Uber accounts are tied to your phone number for sign-in and trip contact, so when you switch numbers it's worth updating promptly.
Steps in the app
- Tap Account (your profile).
- Open Manage Uber account > Personal info.
- Tap the phone number, type the new one and enter the code you receive.
Lost the old number?
Try signing in with the email, Google or Apple account linked to Uber. If none are linked, use Uber's help pages to request account access; they may ask for details about recent trips.
Is a temporary number OK for Uber?
For a one-off sign-up you can receive the code with a Noir SMS number, but the number is recycled later. For an account you ride with often, use your own number so drivers can reach you and you can recover the account.
Frequently asked questions
Will changing my number log me out?
No, you stay signed in. The new number is used for future sign-ins and trip contact.
Does it change Uber Eats too?
Yes, Uber and Uber Eats share one account.
