Uber didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
To be clear, Uber integration hasn't been wiped out from the Google Maps apps. You can still get an estimate on how much an Uber ride will cost and how long it'll take for you to get to a location. But if you want to complete the booking, you'll now have to open the Uber app.

It's unclear if the feature will return in the future, but the fact that Google has updated its support page to reflect the new update suggests it may not.
