Widespread Outage Affects Uber, Uber Eats, and Internet Services Due to Cloudflare Issue
Uber and Uber Eats experienced widespread outages affecting millions of users across the U.S., with reports indicating the services were down for several hours. The outage appears to be related to the ongoing Cloudflare internet infrastructure issues, which have caused error messages and service disruptions across various platforms. Cloudflare has deployed a fix, and Uber services are gradually returning to normal, with user outage reports decreasing significantly. During the outage, Uber and Uber Eats users faced difficulties in ordering and delivering rides and food, with many reporting being unable to load the app or contact support. The outage was primarily concentrated in the U.S., although Uber services in the UK remained operational. Over 5,000 reports of outages for Uber Eats and Uber were logged on Down Detector, with 81% of users reporting the apps were not working. The incident highlights the impact of major internet infrastructure failures on global digital services.
