WhatsApp for iPad Now Available

[SactoGuy18]

That's great. Now offer Instagram for iPadOS by this fall.

So many WhatsApp variants when you do a search in the App store.

For the people who can't find it, try searching for 'WhatsApp Messenger,' not just WhatsApp. I think I'm right in saying this is the same thing!

Anyone?

Uhm, the MacRumors article has a direct link.

So … next is Instagram? In about 10 years?

 

[klasma]

It seems that only 1 year of chat history is synced.

 

[klasma]

I looked at it and it’s the same version. I don’t know why when I opened in the chat background said it’s in beta 🤷‍♂️

The chat background is normal for me.

WhatsApp and Calculator - groundbreaking apps now available on the iPad

It's the year of the Linux iPadOS desktop, babyyyy!

 

[Ramchi]

This is much much needed in my place. Without WhatsApp, my iPad Pro (M4) is incomplete!

Whether WhatsApp Business or another instance is allowed in the WhatsApp? I know multiple accounts are allowed only in Android mobiles, but checking to ensure that I am not left out in this dual WhatsApp game!

Checked, NOT POSSIBLE to have two accounts or instances or WA Business in iPad!

WhatsApp and Calculator - groundbreaking apps now available on the iPad

Still holding out for the Fitness and Watch app.

 

[Populus]

But, wait, is this a genuine native app, or it is like the macOS app that you must have your iPhone connected and running?

 

[Mike Boreham]

Pfft. Not showing in my iPad Pro App store. Is this a world wide release or just certain countries?

Available in the UK. Open this article on your iPad and click the link. I didn't find it by searching in App Store

 

[johannnn]

can I just login like on the phone? or do I need to scan a QR code like on the Mac?

iPad feels Pro now

a QR code is required

I turned my phone off and it still works on the ipad.

 

[contacos]

Wow I might actually end up using my iPad occasionally again now. I always was annoyed having to keep the phone by my side to answer WhatsApp messages, which means I usually just continued to use my phone for everything else as well

 

[svish]

Very surprised. Thought it will still take some more time. Happy to see that it is finally available. It will be good if Instagram app is also made available very soon.

 

[contacos]

Finally….
Now where’s the Apple Watch app?

I think there used to be one but they discontinued it because the provided SDK and API by Apple is limited and just sucks

 

[SteveLV702]

Now need iPad version for WhatsApp Business

 

[P_Watt]

Green Badges seem reluctant to disappear without reading another thread then coming back.

 

[noanker]

I feel like the elderly version of Rose in Titanic "It's been 84 years...."

🤣

Are messages truly E2EE if WhatsApp is collecting user content?
