How Do I Change My Phone Number on Lyft?

Changing a phone number for a Lyft account is an easy process that can be done in only a minute or two. Open your Lyft account and access your settings menu by scrolling to the bottom of the main menu. Once you have located your settings menu, you will see a phone icon with your current phone number next to it. Update the settings with the phone number you would like to use. You will be sent a verification code by text to the new phone number, and once you have entered the code into your Lyft account, your phone number is now updated.

Changing the phone number of your Lyft account is an easy process that can be completed within only a few minutes.

Lyft is a ride-sharing platform that allows for a convenient transportation option that brings a driver to your location within minutes. If you have changed phone numbers or want to receive updates from another phone, updating your Lyft phone number is an easy task. In this guide, you will learn how to change your Lyft phone number on the Lyft app.

Changing a Phone Number on Lyft

  1. Open your Lyft mobile app
  2. Open the main menu by tapping on the three-lined symbol in the upper-left corner of the home screen.
  3. Scroll down to the bottom of the menu and tap on the 'Settings' option with the gear symbol next to it.
  4. Once you have arrived on the settings menu, you will see an icon of a phone with the current phone number you are using next to it.
  5. Tap on this icon and enter the updated number that you want to use on your Lyft account
  6. A verification code will be sent to your updated phone number and will need to be entered to save the change to your Lyft account.

That is it, you have successfully changed your phone number that is being used on your Lyft account. This can be used when you have changed phone numbers and want to update your settings. This can also be used if you are experiencing a situation as your phone has died, and you must ask for a Lyft driver from someone else's phone.

This is also an option for calling a Lyft driver to pick up someone for you. By updating the phone number to the rider's number, they will receive updates that the Lyft driver has arrived at their location.
