Pebble’s latest update adds full notification support and more

Despite Android Wear being out and taking all the lime light, there are still many people with Pebbles out there. With a screen that’s easy to read in daylight and awesome battery life, the Pebble still has a competitive edge over Android Wear devices in some respects. And starting today, an awesome new update is rolling out to it.

This update introduces a redesigned Pebble app, which includes full notification support. This means that any app can send notifications to your Pebble, much like with Android Wear. I’m sure this a big deal for Pebble owners, as they will no longer have to wait for app developers to add support and will now see important info on their wrist.

Also added is support for many new languages. According to Pebble itself, over 98 percent of Pebble users will now be able to receive messages in their native languages. The list is quite long.

For Android users, the update will be rolling out starting today. Only 10 percent of people will get this update initially, with more getting it in the following weeks. A staged rollout is expected with such a large update, so you may have to wait a while. And if you don’t want to wait, hit up the Pebble beta channel to try it out now!

How many of you still use your Pebbles? Leave a comment!
