Pebble gets support for Android Wear notifications

Pebble owners can sign up for the beta app with version number 2.3. The update gives smartwatch users the option to respond to certain notifications. This is only possible in combination with a smartphone that runs on Android 4.0 or higher.

The update makes the smartwatch compatible with Android Wear notifications and owners can also respond to certain messages via the Pebble in the future. In addition, apps will also be automatically updated in the future if this is possible, according to the description. This is possible, for example, when the smartwatch is being charged. The developers also claim to have fixed issues with WhatsApp notifications, and reportedly fixed minor bugs and improved stability.

Pebble announced the update on its blog. Interested parties can register for the beta of version 4.3 and people do not need an invitation or anything like that to participate in the test phase. The service can only be used in combination with an Android smartphone that runs at least on Android 4.0.
