Apa itu get a ride in facebook

Linking your Facebook profile allows you to post your completed ride stats and share your performance with your friends.

When you set up your Peloton Bike for the first time, you’ll have the option to link your Peloton account to your Facebook profile. On the 'Confirm Your Peloton Information' screen, you will see 'Import your Facebook Profile Info' highlighted in red in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.

To connect your Facebook and Peloton profiles after activating your Bike, you can connect your Facebook account on your web profile here.

To connect your Facebook account on your touchscreen, tap your username on the left-hand side of your home screen. Tap on "My Account", then tap on the box by "Enable Facebook" to begin connecting the two accounts.

To disconnect your Peloton and Facebook accounts, tap on the same box next to “Enable Facebook" and delete any accounts you'd like to remove.

What better way to tell your friends you’re on your way than by requesting an Uber ride mid-Facebook chat?

On Wednesday, Facebook Messenger got an update to allow U.S. users to seamlessly request an Uber ride directly from the mobile app. Messenger’s new “Transportation” feature only surfaces Uber rides right now, but ride-sharing rival Lyft will join in January. Requesting a ride via Messenger alerts everyone in your Facebook chat that you have, in fact, requested a ride.

To request an Uber ride in Messenger, simply tap on the car icon below the text field or find Transportation in the “more” (…) menu. You’ll have to create an Uber account or connect an existing one before you are able to request a ride. If this is your first time using Uber via Messenger, you will get your first ride for free (up to $20), according to the message we received from Uber once we connected our account. It looks like you can chat directly with Uber reps via Messenger, which is incredible, considering Uber support is notoriously difficult to reach.

This is the another major step for Facebook Messenger as it looks to expand beyond simple messaging. Earlier this year, the app got a Venmo-like feature for users to be able to send cash and split payments. And according to Facebook product manager Seth Rosenberg, Facebook is looking to bring more capabilities to the Messenger app, like booking flights and concert tickets.

Why this matters: Facebook Messenger seems to be following the footsteps of Asian messaging apps like WeChat, Line, and KakaoTalk, which integrate a bunch of services—from games to e-commerce—to become a vital part of everyday life for mobile users. It remains uncertain whether this approach will work in the U.S., as designated apps seem to offer greater ease-of-use than bloated one-stop shops. That’s the reason Facebook spun off its Messenger service into its own app to begin with, because the flagship Facebook app was getting too bloated.

Earlier this month, Uber released a public API update for iOS and Android developers to add an official “Uber Ride Request Button” to their apps. This request button can pull address data from the third-party app, so Uber will automatically know where you intend to go once you tap it. However, developers who install this code are not allowed to offer a competing ride-sharing service. Obviously, Facebook is a big enough player to be an exception to this policy, since Messenger will have Uber and Lyft side-by-side starting in 2016.

Update: As of 1/4/16 the $20 offer is only available to new Uber users. You may consider trying to find a higher offer like the $30 one from Amex instead.

Uber and Facebook have teamed up to integrate ridesharing into the Facebook Messenger app. As a way to celebrate this new feature, they are offering a free ride up to $20. Here is how to get it:

To get started, download the latest version of Messenger. Then, from within a conversation, tap the more menu and choose Transportation. You can also search directly for Uber – our first partner – and tap the car icon to request a ride. From there, you’ll receive updates on your driver’s status and notify your friends that you’ve called a ride.

Availability

Update: If you weren’t targeted there may be a workaround. You can find the details here.

Unfortunately it seems this functionality isn’t available to everyone. I personally updated my app and am not able to see the transportation option as described. I know a few other people in the same boat. This is still being rolled out, so hopefully it will be coming to everyone. Here is what Facebook officially says regarding availability:

This service is currently in testing and will be available to select users in the locations where Uber operates in the United States. More countries and other transportation partners will be available soon.

The Free Ride

If you do have the transportation option, to receive your free ride simply link your existing Uber account or created a new one through Facebook Messenger. You can find the full details here.
