Pebble supports Android Wear Notification with Pebble 2.3 Beta

The Pebble Smart Watch is constantly evolving and now they have continued to add more functionality. Before this, it is mainly a one way notification viewer but now they have added support for Android Wear Notification with its new Pebble 2.3 Beta software. This allows you to take further action upon receiving a notification like replying messages with a preset template or with an Emoji.

On the past update, Pebble adds a full notification support for Android users but that is only limited to users that are on Android 4.3 and above. With the Pebble Beta 2.3, it now supports older Android 4.0+ devices and above. Also new is the auto update feature where it automatically downloads the latest version for watchfaces and apps when the watch is being charged.

If you’re interested to try it out, just sign up as a Android Pebble Beta user. Check out the demo videos and the full Pebble 2.3 Beta changelog after the break.
