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?

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