It took only 15 years to bring WhatsApp to the iPad

In the era of apps, iPad users couldn’t get one for their WhatsApp fix. Until now.

iPad users can finally access WhatsApp through a dedicated application. Before, the platform could only be accessed on the device via its website.

It took Meta 15 years to introduce iPad users to a dedicated WhatsApp app, which includes the same features as the application for iPhone users.

The reason for such a long wait was related to technical difficulties. The company had to ensure that its end-to-end encryption was securely synchronized across all devices.

iPad users with devices running iPadOS 15.1 or later can download the app from the App Store.

It’s been reported that WhatsApp allows users to make video and audio calls with up to 32 people on the iPad.

With WhatsApp, the device users can also use features like Stage Manager, Split View, and Slide Over.

Users can also access the app while doing other tasks, such as browsing or watching videos.

WhatsApp data, which includes messages, calls, and files, can be accessed from all devices and is end-to-end encrypted.

The 91 mobiles reported that the WhatsApp app has been highly requested by iPad users, who could use it more comfortably due to the device’s larger screen size.

It’s also been shared that iPads could get a dedicated Instagram app. However, its release date is not yet clear.
