The latest app to add support for Android Wear is a big one – Facebook Messenger. According to Facebook's Ian Lake, Facebook Messenger v9 adds the ability to respond directly to messages using your voice, as well as send a “like” thumbs up to recipients. You'll also be able to mute notifications on your phone or Android Wear device.

Aside from Wear support, the update also adds some “improvements to make the app faster and more reliable”. To get this update, head to the Google Play link past the break.
