Uber and Uber Eats to merge into one app

Tech news 6 June 2019

CAPE TOWN - Uber is reportedly going to merge its Uber Eats platform into its main ride-hailing app.

This is according to a report by TechCrunch, which stated that a pilot version of the merged app was tested in April 2019.

The company confirmed to TechCrunch that it was merging a fully-functional web version of Uber Eats into the Uber app.

Uber said to Tech Crunch: “We’re rolling out a new way to order Eats directly in the Uber app on Android (we’ve already been experimenting on iOS),” Uber said.

“This cross-promotion gives riders who are new to Eats a seamless way to order a meal via a web view instead of opening up the App Store for download.”

The Android version of the merged app has reportedly rolled out to 17% of users in Uber Eats’ international markets.
