TrueRide on Android

TrueRide works on Android 8 or newer. On first launch the app walks you through four steps, about a minute.

Setup steps

  1. The card over the driver app. Allow display over other apps, so TrueRide can show the card over Uber or Bolt.
  2. Shift notification (recommended). While the shift is on, a notification shows it and has a “Stop” button.
  3. Reading the offer directly (recommended). Turn on the TrueRide accessibility service, so the app knows when you are in Uber or Bolt. Without it the shift cannot start.
  4. Uninterrupted shift (recommended). Remove TrueRide from battery optimization, so the shift does not stop on its own.

On Android 8–10, Android also asks for screen-capture consent when the shift starts.

If Android says “Restricted setting” for the accessibility service, the app shows the unlock steps right in the setup screen.

Checking it works

Start the shift and open Uber or Bolt. The TrueRide card should appear on the next offer.

The card does not show?

On the Shift screen, tap “Why isn't the card showing?”. TrueRide checks each permission and tells you what is missing.

  • Is the shift on? The TrueRide notification should be in the status bar.
  • Is the accessibility service still on? Some phones turn it off after an update.
  • Is the offer on a protected screen? There TrueRide sees nothing and tells you so.
