Pebble for Android now lets you read your WhatsApp messages on your wrist

If you own a Pebble smartwatch and have been syncing it with your Android smartphone, you may have become a little frustrated with the WhatsApp integration. Why? Well, because it would tell you that you have a new WhatsApp message, but not tell you what it says.

While there have been some workarounds in the past via third-party apps, Pebble’s own native app now enables full messages, including, importantly, the content of the message.
