What is the Newsfeed feature in the driver app?
The newsfeed is a notification feature that is located in the requests tab of the driver app.
It is used to notify the driver:
when a change has been made to an upcoming transfer
when a cancellation has been made to an upcoming transfer
about any updates regarding the status of a new booking he created
