Uber appears to have canceled support for Apple Watch, which allowed users to quickly request rides, as well as access information like your driver's vehicle, estimated time of arrival, and the real-time location of your ride.
According to Apple Insider, launching the app will simply give the following message: “Please switch to the Uber mobile app. We no longer support the Apple Watch app. Sorry for the inconvenience,” followed by a crying emoji
Surprisingly, the app is still available for download, Uber's help page still lists it as if it were functional, and there's even a little blurb on Apple's App Store explaining how convenient the app is.
Specifically, this change only affects people who have installed and used the Uber app on their Apple Watch. When you take a ride from your iPhone, you should continue to receive notifications on your Apple Watch as before.

The Apple Watch app also lost other features like Uber Pool, Split Fare, Share My ETA, and Contact Driver. Judging by the effort Uber put into this farewell message, we can see that most users are disappointed with all of these changes.
As for the company's competitor Lyft, the company discontinued its Apple Watch app even earlier, in 2018.
