On Wednesday, Facebook Inc said that it is testing a service that will allow its Messenger app users to hail Uber rides directly from the app, without leaving a conversation or downloading the ride-hailing app.
Facebook said in a blog post that Uber is the first partner for the Transportation on Messenger service, which will be available to select users in locations where Uber operates in the United States.
It further said that Uber on Messenger will start rolling out in the United States on Wednesday.
