    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.

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

            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.

                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.

                    No I mean me, the other people who’ve corrected you, the people who’ve downvoted you, and everyone else.
