According to Uber, this is just a test

Everyone hates ads, but they are the price we pay for all the free apps out there. However, it's one thing to watch them when you are using a free app, and it's a whole other story to be bombarded with ads through push notifications even when you are not actually using your phone.

Recently, Uber launched a new advertising division and is now displaying banners in its app. However, it appears that the company is also currently testing a way to advertise various things through push notifications, which is something it didn't even mention when it announced its decision to put ads in its app.that the Uber app has started sending them push notifications for ads of other companies.

At the moment, Uber is using the so-called"journey ads," which advertise one single brand throughout a user's travel. Usually, users see an ad while waiting for their ordered car to arrive, while traveling, and when they reach the designated destination. Advertisers personalize ads to users based on their travel history. Currently, there is no information on whether Uber used the same data to choose what ads to display as push notifications.
