Uber has unveiled a new feature for iPhone users aimed at streamlining the process of booking a ride.


The addition of a Home Screen widget allows customers to request a ride in just two taps, offering quicker access to the app during the busy holiday season.

The update requires users to install the latest version of iOS and update the Uber app to enable the widget. Once set up, the tool places Uber’s ride-request functionality directly on the iPhone’s Home Screen, reducing the time needed to open the app and make a booking.


Uber’s move aligns with its focus on simplifying access to its services during periods of heightened demand. As festive plans take shape, the company hopes this feature will provide a smoother experience for users needing quick and convenient transportation.
