Yes, I have been in the beta for about 5 or 6 years. I'm not sure if it has ever reopened for new slots.
It’s not about reopen, it’s that someone must leave to make room. Unfortunately, test flight slots are limited by Apple.
Sideloading anyone? 😎

Altstore is even more annoying that jailbreak with all the thing you need to have and do for it to keep working
Article doesn't know. The EU obliges Apple to do sideloading only for iPhone, not for iPad, since iPad is not part of the gatekeeper status. So it's up to Apple, and just like Apple is limiting it to the 27 EU countries they have no obligation to extend it to iPad (since they thecnically have a different OS, iPadOS)
Digital Markets Act: Commission designates six gatekeepers
The European Commission has today designated, for the first time, six gatekeepers, under the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
At this point Apple has no obligation
To be fair WhatsApp/Meta is a tiny company with limited resources unlike Signal which has a whopping 100 employees (and has had an iPad app for ages) 😆
Zuck hates Apple beacuse of the Ask not to track so they will always favor Android
Just noticed Fouad as a new store for Watusi called flekstore. Is Watusi supported on iPad now via this new store?
And is it stable? See here:

It's also because I have alternatives, for now I am using a Surface go 2 M3 LTE, I can also use my Tab S9 5G, which has whatsapp, but the day whatsapps comes to iPad I'll move back to iPad...I guess then this feature ist not important enough for you to deal with this
Sooo, went back to using a Mini after trying an Air which is way too big and heavy for my taste..
Which has me revisiting this thread on how to use WA on it.
Any developments since?

The ways to use WhatsApp on an Apple iPad are either via third party developer Apple App or the web based WhatsApp. https://web.whatsapp.com/. Meta has not created an App for the iPad yet, only for the iPhone.
