It’s bizarre. With 3 billion customers, WhatsApp is the preferred messaging platform on this planet. It landed on the App Retailer again in 2009, about six months earlier than the iPad was launched. And in all that point, there has by no means been an iPad app for WhatsApp.
Till immediately. Now you can obtain WhatsApp for iPad.
It has at all times been an odd omission. Meta (then Fb) purchased WhatsApp again in 2014. The assets to make a model of WhatsApp for the iPad have definitely been there. The design has been there, too: WhatsApp is offered for iPhone, Android telephones, Mac, Home windows, and the online. It’s not as if this can be a phone-only messaging platform.
We might by no means know precisely why it was determined that the iPad wasn’t worthy of its personal WhatsApp app for the final 15 years. The iPhone app couldn’t run on an iPad attributable to restrictions on “telephony” kind apps. You may at all times use the online shopper on iPad, however that had some limitations—the native shopper permits you to use the entrance or rear digicam and maintain video calls with as much as 32 folks, in addition to share your display. And it’s properly formatted for the iPad’s giant display.
The app helps customary iPad options like Stage Supervisor, Slide Over, and Break up View, in addition to supporting Apple Pencil. So go seize it now.
