In case you thought Pushbullet couldn’t get any more useful, today’s update brings their quick replies feature to more than just SMS apps. Starting today, you can now reply to a handful of popular instant messaging applications straight from your computer. Here’s the current running list:
- Hangouts
- Facebook Messenger
- Line
- Telegram
Alright, so it’s a little skimpy at this point but we think they covered most of the major ones. They did mention that while Hangouts is supported, you’ll have to install the Android Wear app from the Google Play Store on your phone/tablet in order to get it up and running. There’s also a handy widget that’s been added to quickly toggle notifications straight from your Android home screen.
Keep in mind that Pushbullet’s new instant messaging support he feature only works on devices running Android 4.4 KitKat or higher. If you’re looking for some quick tips on how Pushbullet can change your life, check out our post “5 cool things you should be doing with Pushbullet.”
Probably my favorite Android app
I’m getting some very practical use out of it so far. Some of my friends have been getting annoyed at how quickly I reply to their WhatsApp messages! They think I’m a texting wizard.
I love how I can stay a tad bit away from my phone. When they get Kik on board life will be even better.
Love the app, but they really need to get multi recipient and mms added to the toolbox.
It’s great that you can now reply to popular instant messaging applications straight from your computer but it still doesn’t solve the problem of fragmented communications because of all these closed wall-garden applications. Matrix.org is the only project I can think who trying to specifically address this issue. And being open source and not for profit, any developer can build on top of Matrix as well as existing communication services easily integrate with the Matrix ecosystem.
