Messenger and Uber began to negotiate at the first time for a possible integration in July 2014, but there was not a clear statement from both companies until yesterday. During that time, messenger becomes a huge platform and Uber has provided significant infrastructure development such as publishing the API to enable integration with third-party applications.

However, this integration is not only limited just the driver call service but also Uber will use the Businesses on messenger for communication with its customers.
