I'm not sure what Google Talk's traffic is compared to Whatsapp, but gtalk allows simultaneous logins across many devices and does a decent job of synchronizing messages across them -- phone, tablet, computer (though there is a slight delay depending on the volume of messages it needs to sync).
- acchow 13y agoI seriously doubt Google Talk (now called Hangouts) has anywhere close to Whatsapp's traffic. But even if they did, Google can support simultaneous login with synchronized state (and server-stored state) because it's solved a lot of these big problems in the past for other products with hundreds/thousands of engineers.
