Unprecedented Partnership Between Uber and iFood Will Allow Rides and Meals to Be Ordered in a Single App, Starting with Brazilian Cities in the Second Semester

Uber and iFood have formed a partnership that will integrate the services of both platforms. The announcement was made this week and promises to change the way users access deliveries and transportation.

With this innovation, it will be possible to order an Uber ride directly from the iFood app and make orders on iFood without leaving the Uber app.

The goal of the partnership is to make life easier for consumers. It will no longer be necessary to switch between apps to order food, shop at grocery stores, or request a ride.

According to Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber, half of users already frequently use both services. For him, the integration helps consolidate mobility and deliveries in one place.

Diego Barreto, CEO of iFood, said the partnership could also generate more demand for registered restaurants, pharmacies, and grocery stores. In addition, there is an expectation that opportunities for delivery workers and partner drivers from both platforms will increase.

The integration will be carried out in phases. It begins in the second semester, in some cities in Brazil. Afterwards, it will be expanded to the entire country.

In the Uber app, the “Delivery” tab will be updated with iFood’s offerings. Meanwhile, in the iFood app, a tab called “Mobility” will be created, through which users can request rides with Uber.

For now, the subscription programs remain separate. Uber One and iFood Clube continue without changes. However, the companies are considering launching joint initiatives in the future.

The Uber Direct service for businesses and Uber Flash for package delivery continue to operate normally. iFood will also maintain its logistics service for partners and the On Demand service aimed at those who operate outside the platform.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

China opens the world’s first school where more than 100 humanoid robots from different brands will study together, each movement will be repeated up to 600 times a day and the data will feed a collective brain that will teach all the robots of the future.

A giant golden ball in the middle of gardens in India was assembled with 1,415 discs, took decades to be completed, and transforms sunlight into controlled central lighting.

Three teenagers surprise the world by creating a powder with tamarind seeds that removes microplastics from water, requires no electricity, and wins an international prize of $12,500 at The Earth Prize 2026.

India completes tests of Project Kusha, its own long-range air defense shield to shoot down aircraft and missiles hundreds of kilometers away.

The largest neighborhoods in each state of Brazil are astonishing in size: Campo Grande leads with 352,000 inhabitants, Cidade Industrial exceeds 172,000, and Jorge Teixeira dominates the North.

China prepares a “panoramic Hubble” with 2.5 billion pixels and a field of view 300 times larger: Xuntian will have a 2-meter mirror, resolution close to that of the American telescope, can dock at the Tiangong space station for maintenance, and promises to map 40% of the sky in a decade.
