Facebook messenger has now integrated the Uber technology in finding and requesting for a ride with a few sweeps of the finger on the screen.

This technology integration is not only useful for personal convenience but could also come in handy when it comes to business transactions.

Most online users have Facebook accounts that they can access from mobile devices. The FB-related app, Messenger, is very useful in communication but it can also be used in a wide variety of purposes.

The app can be used in sending money, transacting with businesses and getting updates about item delivery. It is a convenient app that has comprehensive range of uses.

An additional feature is now integrated with the app. It can now be used to request-a-ride.

In an official announcement from Facebook Newsroom, it was confirmed that the FB Messenger app will be expanded to incorporate transportation request feature. There is no need to download a new app or leave a conversation to use this new feature.

You can get to your destination faster and safer with the help of the new feature of the Facebook Messenger app. Users simply need to update their FB Messengers to the latest version to have access to the new feature.

A user can directly use Uber through the messenger app to request for a ride and see the most effective routes. Updates about the status of the driver will also be received in the messenger.

At the same time, the specified Facebook friends will also be notified that a user has requested for a ride. This is a precautionary measure that will allow the user to be traced.
