How WhatsApp enables multi-device capability

I'm confused by your post. I use signal seamlessly between my desktop, iphone, and ipad using the same account. I can take photos with my phone, post them to a chat, then go back to my desktop to type longer messages more easily.

Is your problem that a phone is required to be the primary device when doing this?

Then you clearly haven't read my post thoroughly. I repeatedly mentioned my issues being with Signal not allowing multiple instances on Android devices using the same account, while you're talking about Signal on Apple devices.

No need to be snarky. I didn’t say you were wrong, and clearly I don’t know about the problems with signal on android as I don’t have those devices.

You don't need to personally know about the problems with Signal on Android -- just need to read the parent post thoroughly.

His problem is that he has Android.
