Post the update, users can enable the feature by activating it either from a drop-down notifications menu or by going to the phone's 'Settings', the company added. Once enabled, the caller will be notified that the user is currently riding, and cannot answer calls.

The feature, however, allows the caller to call the rider by pressing numeric one in-case of urgency or emergency. The update will be initiated in batches and will be completed by March-end, the company said.
