The message appears on the iPad, then seconds later on the phone. I get messages in similar scenarios all the time. All of the devices display the message - it's just the device you are using gets it *first*. > And on what way does it benefit you that your phone gets a beep/alert a > minute or two later Wrong again. Typically it's a matter of seconds - especially if you are actively using the phone. > instead of beeping at same time which makes it > obvious both devices are processing the same message ? Having a bunch of devices beep every time I receive a message would be extremely annoying. And *still* neither of you can answer the question: How exactly would it benefit me for my phone that is asleep in the bedroom to display a message *before* displaying it on the iPad I am actually *using* when I am in the living room? -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.
