    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.
