    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.

            No, lol. “Multi-device” does not just mean “multiple devices can be involved”.

            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.

                By “everybody but you” you mean just you, right?
