Today, Uber made public its plans to completely overhaul its app around the globe, introducing a plethora of new features that would make it easier for passengers to go to any location.

The newly updated Uber app has been made straightforward, and it can now be personalized to the unique preferences of each passenger.

 Also, the app now provides riders simple access to all of Uber's services, consistent experiences, and seamless flows when booking rides. 

The new version of the Uber app makes it much simpler to book trips, beginning with the revamped home screen. This new version also considers the locations and services most popular among individual riders.

An alternative home screen

The user interface of the home screen has been streamlined to make trip booking easier for riders, requiring fewer clicks right from the beginning of the booking process.

 The new app also includes a tab labeled "Services," a one-stop shop for locating all of the product offerings accessible to riders in the rider's city. These product offerings range from a nearby moto to auto, intercity, rentals, reserve, and connect, as well as other options. 

The new "Activity Center" makes tracking completed and planned rides easier in a single location.

More customized

The new app makes it much simpler to book the rides and places that are most often used, as well as the sorts of rides and locations that are most frequently used.

When a rider taps "where to?" on the home page, "Saved Locations" will show for that rider. The app will recommend a list of tailored destinations and ride options based on preferences, previous travels, and most probable destinations. Saved Places are accessible through the app at any time. 

The app will also provide tailored advice for planning trips and saving money, and the rider's history will determine these recommendations with Uber.

For instance, if a rider frequently uses Uber Auto, it will most likely be the first choice they see; the app will also recommend alternative options that are more reasonably priced.
