        The only information that I have is that I personally use it on multiple devices, and I didn’t invent it, I just downloaded the software provided by SimpleX.

      No, it does not. The closest it comes is allowing a PC to take control of a mobile client on the same local network. That might be a convenient way to type with a full-sized keyboard if you have both devices in the same place, but it is not what people mean when talking about multi-device support.

      GP wants the ability to use their account from multiple devices independently. From different locations, not tethered on a LAN. With shared message history, notifications, unread state, identity, etc. That’s what multi-device support means in the context of messaging services.

        Device 1: PC Device 2: Phone

        How many devices is that? 2? Sounds like multiple devices to me 🤷‍♂️

          2 devices that can’t function independently. That would make it functionally one device. You’re just splitting hairs now.

            2 devices

            Glad we settled that one.

            You’re just splitting hairs now.

            My guy, you’re the one splitting hairs.

              No, lol. “Multi-device” does not just mean “multiple devices can be involved”. It means “Multiple devices can operate independently”

              And you know that. But you’re splitting hairs to try and fit this use case into something it’s not.

                My guy… “multiple” = >1. “Device” = some sort of electronic. It’s that simple. And you know that. But you’re splitting hairs to try and win an internet argument and misrepresent something you don’t like.

                  Yes linguistically that’s what the those two words mean.

                  But in the context of a messaging app, “Multi device” becomes one singular term with a set meaning agreed upon by everybody but you, that you’re trying desperately to change by deconstructing the words it’s composed of in order to misrepresent something that you evidently like a whole lot.
