Uber has struck-up a rather unexpected deal with Facebook that enables users of the social networking giant’s Messenger application to order a ride whilst in the midst of a conversation. Whenever an address is sent during a chat, a little Uber logo will materialize in the navigation bar, which, when tapped, will allow users to order a cab from their current location to the one stated in the chat.
To check out this new feature in action see below:

The hail an Uber functionality will only appear on your device once you install the latest Facebook Messenger application. To do so, simply open up Play Store, toggle the hamburger menu by swiping in from the left-hand side of the screen, select ‘My Apps’ and click on Messenger, then tap the update button. Alternatively, you can hit the link below to initiate the download on your handset from the Web.
