The popular Android keyboard Fleksy has arrived today on the Samsung Gear 2 in the form of Fleksy Messenger — a new app that will allow Gear 2 users to reply to SMS messages directly on their watch. Fleksy is already available as an add-on keyboard for Android devices, including the Omate TrueSmart watch, so it should be familiar to many users.
Fleksy on the Gear 2 will sync back to a users device, integrating data from both and keeping everything in sync. Users will be able to access previous conversations and contacts, view SMS messages and reply to them straight from the Gear 2. Fleksy is available today as a free download from Samsung Apps.
