Uber Teams with Facebook to Let You Order a Rides from Messenger

Facebook and Uber have joined together to integrate the Uber API into their Messenger application.

And you won't even have to download the Uber application to do so.


- Meeting a loved one for dinner? Send them the restaurant location on Messenger, and they can request a ride there by simply tapping on the address.
- Running late for a work meeting? Share your current Uber trip with coworkers through Messenger so they know exactly when you’ll arrive.
- Picking up friends in your Uber on the way to a concert? Request in Messenger and your friends will know when to be outside to jump into the Uber.
