iPad users gain access to WhatsApp after 15 years.

WhatsApp for iPad was one of the most requested features over the years. Now, it is finally available, making it a welcome move. The iPad version of WhatsApp offers the same features as the iPhone version. However, Meta has made a few enhancements to the UI and features for improved multitasking on the big screen. iPad users will also be able to make audio and video calls through the WhatsApp app with up to 32 people.

What does WhatsApp offer for iPad users?

On iPad, users can seamlessly make audio and video calls, receive notifications, and access all app features, similar to how they are used on iPhone. iPad users can also take advantage of WhatsApp’s multitasking capabilities, such as Stage Manager, Split View and Slide Over, enabling users to access multiple apps simultaneously. WhatsApp provided an example that “you can send messages while browsing the web, or research options for a group trip while on a call together.” However, the Stage Manager feature is only compatible with iPad Pro with M4, iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later), iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation and later) and iPad Air (5th generation), iPad Air 11-inch (M2 and later), and iPad Air 13-inch (M2 and later).

WhatsApp on iPad will also support commands from the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil for seamless usage. Meta also ensured users that its multi-device technology enables the app to keep the data synced across your iPhone, Mac and other devices. To use WhatsApp on iPad, go to the App Store, download the app and start using it.
