Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing cross device messaging and enhanced synchronization of messages. In some configurations, a distributed service platform may store a user profile. The user profile may include device information (i) indicating active devices associated with the user profile and capabilities of the active devices and (ii) one or more potential relay devices for relaying messages to the active devices. The user profile may be provided to a first device among the active devices referenced in the device information. A signal may be received from the first device that includes a message designating one or more recipient devices from the active devices. One or more relay devices may be selected from the one or more potential relay devices in response to receiving the signal, and the signal may be sent to the one or more relay devices.
