Uber is starting to let people bookmark their favourite places in its app
The feature will allow Uber riders to bookmark places that they visit regularly, such as a friend's house or a favourite restaurant.

The feature — announced by Uber on Wednesday — will allow Uber riders to bookmark places that they visit regularly, such as a friend's house or a favourite restaurant.
"Everyone has places they go again and again," Uber wrote on its website. "But remembering those addresses is tough, and asking someone 'where's that again?' for the second, third, or even fourth time can be awkward.
"That's why we're adding a Saved Places feature to the app. Saved Places makes it easy to bookmark (and forget!) addresses so riders can get to the people and places they need to see faster. Riders can also name these addresses, even with emojis."

Saved Places will be available in the US from Thursday on both Android and iOS. Uber said it will be expanding the feature to non-US users later in the year.
Here's how to use the Saved Places feature, according to Uber:
