The Uber Family Profile

Invitation Process
When you send an invitation to a family member, that family member must accept the invitation before you can invite more family members. At the moment, this feature only invites one person at a time.
Invited family members will receive an email, a push notification, or an SMS text message, and will appear as pending in your family profile until they accept your invitation. To get your invitation, family members who do not have the app must first download it. When family members approve your invitation, the Family Profile option comes up as a payment method in their app.
Family Profile Payment
