Uber's new CEO has been trying to clean-up the mess cofounder Travis Kalanick left behind. One sweeping change was a total crackdown on secure messaging apps when it comes to business matters.*

CEO Dara Khosrowshahi tweeted Wednesday that he forbid employees from using apps like Wickr and Telegram shortly after he joined (http://mashable.com/2017/08/29/travis-kalanick-welcomes-dara-khosrowshahi-as-ubers-official-new-ceo/) the company. He shared that nugget of information while Uber's top lawyer is currently testifying on allegedly receiving stolen proprietary information from Google's Waymo.*
True that Wickr, Telegram were used often at Uber when I came in. As of Sept 27th I directed my teams NOT to use such Apps when discussing Uber-related business.
