I have iOS 13.1.2 on an iPhone 7, and I just used Uber a few days ago as well. You’re right, for whatever reason, you can’t use VO to get to the ETA info any longer. What does happen, however, is that when the info is updated, I do hear VO say, like ETA 5 minutes, then ETA 4 minutes, etc. Also, and it’s not too convenient I know, they send an alert when your driver is 1 minute away, and another when the driver arrives.
As for scheduling a ride in advance, the way it works is that you type in your destination address first, then get to the ride selection screen where you decide if you want Uber X, XL, etc. You can then tap on the Schedule a Ride in Advance button, and the screen does change for you. If you swipe to the right, you’ll run into a series of picker items, the first being the day (Today by default), and if you swipe up on the picker item the day will change. Swipe right, and you will get to select the hour, minutes, and AM or PM. Keep swiping right after the AM/PM picker item, and you should hear a cancel button, then the set pickup time button. It works on my admittedly somewhat older iPhone 7, but hopefully this will help you get going on yours. Pete De Vasto > On Oct 16, 2019, at 10:28 AM, M.
