Pushbullet is easily one of the best apps available for Android devices out there. The app allows you to easily forward links, snippets of text, and more between your PCs and Android devices in just a few taps. 

The app can also be used to mirror all the notifications that you receive on your Android device to any PC running Chrome. This incredibly handy feature of Pushbullet is getting even better today as the latest update to the app allows you to reply to their messages on WhatsApp, Hangouts and other messaging apps right from their PC.

The latest update allows you to directly reply to messages received on Hangouts, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram and Line from the Pushbullet notification that you receive on your PC.

The feature, however, will only be available to Android devices that are at least running KitKat. Additionally, to reply to Hangouts messages directly from the notification, you will need to install the Android Wear app on your device, even if you don’t own Android Wear powered smartwatch.

The update also packs a handy home screen widget that will allow you to quickly toggle Notification forwarding to your PCs and some bug fixes.

If your favorite messaging app is not supported by Pushbullet, worry not as the team is working on adding support for other popular messaging services out there.
