How to order an Uber through WhatsApp?
You are confused thinking about how it will be possible to order a car outside the appropriate application, right? Well, the WhatsApp team has not yet commented on the merger of their companies, however, experts believe that the model should follow Indian rules. That's because this service has been in use in India since December 2021 and has been very successful there.
Uber through WhatsApp must work as a Business account and will take the form of an automated bot. The idea is that, with some information and a few buttons, you can request a car without leaving the WhatsApp platform.
In addition to facilitating the request of drivers, the service will be good for customers who have 3G or 4G internet just to use WhatsApp.
When will this news arrive in Brazil?
It is likely that the new feature will arrive in Brazil later this year. However, it must first come into operation in large population centers, such as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and metropolitan regions.
Will I need to subscribe to WhatsApp Premium to use the Uber service?
Many people still don't know, but the company Meta, owner of WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook, intends to charge for using the platform. Initially, the project is aimed at business accounts and will bring several new features, such as:
- The same account can be used on 10 devices;
- Access to links that direct to the company's WhatsApp;
- Possibility to use Uber through the platform.
Therefore, the service will not be exclusive, and WhatsApp Premium users will only have access to the Uber service before the general public.
