The man claimed he once logged into his Uber account on his wife's iPhone, but even after he logged out, her device continued to receive push notifications from his profile. Every time he took an extracurricular love trip, he claims she was pinged, which led her to confront him about the alleged affair and their eventual divorce.
Le Figarosaid it was able to recreate the glitch in tests, but only on iPhones running the Uber app before its Dec. 15 software update. Android devices were not affected.
Following the breakup, the man turned on Uber, filing suit for 45 million Euros ($47.8 million) in damages for two-timing him.
"The bug has caused him problems in his private life," the man's lawyer told the AFP news service, because his client apparently has no appreciation for irony.
