Allow 3rd party smartwatches more access to notifications
The Issue
The Pebble Time smartwatch has a built in microphone for replying to messages. Although this feature is only available on Android powered devices, iOS device owners are limited even though Apple has shown that the feature is available on the Apple Watch. There is no reason to limit the smartwatch from having all the features it was designed for. The connectivity is avaliable as shown by the voice reply on the Apple Watch, but the feature is not available for 3rd party app developers, the people Apple has called the life and blood of iOS. Please open iOS 8 and iOS 9 to support 3rd party smartwatches.
