Does Google Messages sync across devices?

Can you tell me if Google Messages, the messaging app offered by Google, is capable of synchronizing messages and other data across multiple devices that are logged in with the same Google account? This feature would be highly beneficial for users who use multiple devices, such as a smartphone and a tablet, and want to have seamless access to their messages and conversation history regardless of which device they are using. Additionally, would the synchronization be automatic, or would the user need to manually initiate it? Lastly, is there any additional configuration or settings that need to be enabled in order for this synchronization to occur?
