Uber Eats is a separate app. Once you load it into your iPhone, it pulls the data from Uber, and you confirm your profile details. Last year I installed it and it said the service wasn't available in my area. Two days later it was. I've had very good luck with this app. I was told by an Uber Eats

OK, so when you first enable braille screen input mode in the Voiceover rotor, it will be in the rotor when you need it. When you're in any text field, you twist the rotor to braille screen input. In this mode, explore how the dots feel on the screen. If it's flat on the table, the dots are
