Pushbullet extends messaging support to Hangouts, WhatsApp, and more

Without question, Pushbullet is one of the most useful and powerful applications available. Pushbullet is all about convenience. The app seamlessly pushes content and notifications between computers, phones, and tablets. For the last few months, users were able to reply to messages from a mobile device’s stock messaging app. Earlier today, Pushbullet announced the extention of messaging support to some of the world’s best services.

Messages from WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Hangouts, Telegram, and Line are all now supported by Pushbullet. Incoming messages from those services will appear on a computer synced with Pushbullet and provide the options to reply to or dismiss.

A device with Android 4.4 KitKat is required for the aforementioned services to work with Pushbullet. Also, Hangouts requires the Android Wear app to be installed; however, users do not actually need to own an Android Wear device. Everything else should work just fine without any special actions.

Pushbullet also included a new widget for users’ homescreens. The widget allows users to decide whether or not the notification forwarding feature is activated.
