It is not the case. But since you are watching a movie on the Mac, it makes sense to display the message there over the movie so you don’t have to hunt for the phone to see what the message is about. And if you don’t noticed it on the Mac because you are too engrossed in the NZer fucking a sheep very enthusiastically indeed, because that is the sort of movies you watch, the message will show up on the phone a little later and you can check the message on your phone once you have stopped creaming your jeans at the sheep shagger. > The messages should all arrive on each device at same time. Not even possible.
