Uber from your smartwatch! The latest Uber update adds the long-anticipated ability to install Uber as a standalone app on any smartwatch running Android Wear 2.0, the version that Google and its partners just released last week. First teased all the way back in 2015, this feature means that you won’t depend on your phone to hail a ride, pick a destination from your favorite list, or check for the arrival of your car. Of course, you will need a smartwatch that connects to the internet, either through WiFi or cellular connectivity.
To install the update, hit the Play Store below or get the app on your Android Wear 2.0 smartwatch.
