CNN
Uber wants to make booking a ride in India as easy as sending a WhatsApp message.
The San Francisco-based company has partnered with Meta (FB) to launch a ride booking ability via its WhatsApp service in India, the two tech firms said in a statement on Thursday.
The integration — the first of its kind for the ride-hailing giant — will allow people to book an Uber ride without having to download the company's app. Everything from user registration and ride-booking to getting a trip receipt will be managed within the WhatsApp chat interface.
