Uber service, appeared in 2009, offered users an alternative to classical taxi and public transport. For 8 years of existence, a lot has changed: starting from the name of the service and ending with the application-client itself. What it is now, we tell you today and tell.
Register by phone number
Like many other socio-oriented applications, Uber uses the phone number to register.
This is not a whim of developers or tribute to fashion - the user is easier to contact the phone. Yes, and service drivers are so easier to communicate with customers.
Location
It was Uber who was invented to determine the location of customers and drivers for GPS.
At the moment, Google maps are used in Uber. Nevertheless, it will soon go to the map from Yandex (why - read below).
Payment methods
The opportunity to pay a trip by non-cash payment for the first time also appeared in Uber.
After adding a map to the app, it is possible to use contactless payments - Android Pay and Samsung Pay.
Default addresses
Users who often resort to Uber services, use the function of adding a home and working address.
Subsequently, simply select "House" or "Work" and order the car. Naturally, you can create your own template.
Business profile
The creators of the application did not forget about corporate clients. This is where it is proposed to translate your account to the "Business Profile" state.
It is convenient because, firstly, payment from the corporate account becomes available, and secondly, copies of receipts come to the worker e-mail.
Tim history
The useful feature of Uber is the journal of travel.
The addresses (initial and end) and the date of the trip are saved. In the case of the use of default addresses, the corresponding item is displayed. In addition to the coming trips, the upcoming - the application can pick up events from organizer applications.
Confession care

If for some reason you no longer want to use the service, then you can delete an account. Many are worried about the safety of their personal information, albeit an impersonal. In the event that you changed the phone number, delete an account or start a new one - it can be changed in the profile settings.
