### v1.8.1 — 2026-06-15

### Pay for rides with your iCABS Wallet
Wallet payment is now fully live for rides including when no iCABS driver is available and your ride is handled via the Uber backup service. We hold a small buffer when the ride starts, charge the actual fare on arrival, and instantly refund the difference. Your wallet balance stays accurate at every step.

### Smarter no-driver handling
If no iCABS drivers are available in your area, the app now routes your booking to a partner ride faster and tracks it correctly through the whole trip — pickup, on-trip, drop-off, and final fare. You always see the driver's name, vehicle, plate, and a contact number.

### Cleaner booking  no more double-bookings
Tapping "Select Vehicle" rapidly is now safely de-duplicated. Even on slow networks, a single tap creates exactly one ride request — no more "phantom" rides or duplicate admin alerts.
