    Uber on Apple Watch

    Uber is a top-rated and helpful app for traveling to your destination safely. Whether you are about to travel to your office, the airport, or home, you can reach the destination comfortably and safely with Uber. You can get the Uber service in more than 10,000 cities across the globe. With the Uber app, you can schedule rides ahead of time or find one just on time. Also, with Uber Motor, you can get a motorbike ride to your desired destination. The Uber app is available on multiple devices for download like iPhones, iPad, Android phones, etc. However, those who doubt if or not you can hail a ride using Uber on the Apple Watch will find this section useful. If you have used Uber before, you know how useful the app can be. You can enjoy a hassle-free ride. Also, the app lets you know the estimate of the price when you schedule the ride. So, you can schedule the ride based on your time and budget at the same time.

    Important Update: Uber has officially ended the Uber Apple Watch support gradually and has been no longer available since the middle of January 2022. While the users were able to install it on watchOS from the App Store, it does notify the end support as a message with a sad smiley. Even those who have the app already will find a message officially from Uber, which further suggests using the mobile version to book a ride. The company has taken this decision as the app has only a small number of users. So, as of now, Uber is not working on Apple Watch, and Uber for Apple Watch is no longer available in the App Store.
