Fixed an issue where the ride screen could stay on “Searching for driver” after a driver had already accepted your ride. The screen now reliably updates the moment a driver is assigned. More resilient live updates on slow or dropping connections, so your ride status stays accurate even if the network briefly hiccups. Stability improvements.

This update fixes a sign-in issue where requesting the OTP could fail with an "app verification failed" message. The app now confirms its security verification is ready before sending the login code, and refreshes it when you reopen the app, making sign-in more reliable.

Added an extra layer of app security to protect the login and OTP process and block unauthorized access to our services.

Fixed an issue where valid phone numbers from some countries were rejected during sign-in and profile updates.
