Microsoft updates Yammer Android and iOS apps with Android Wear support and iOS Handoff

Microsoft has updated Yammer for both Android and iOS apps.  The Android apps with Android Wear support and the iOS app with Handoff. Both apps have been updated for easier collaboration and a more streamlined experience.

The notification experience has improved on the host device as well. Notifications now roll up by thread and are accompanied by a flashing LED to let you know that they have arrived. Users can read and “like” team messages on your smartwatch and reply with voice commands.
