WhatsApp was somewhat of a workaround for years if you had an iPad and wanted to use it. You had to either stick with your phone or use “WhatsApp Web” in your browser. But you know what? The long wait is nearly over!

WhatsApp is preparing to release an iPad-specific app! For those who adore their iPad and wish to communicate with loved ones on a larger screen, this is fantastic news.

What’s the big deal with a dedicated iPad app?

Think about it:

• Improved Experience: Currently, using WhatsApp on an iPad frequently requires using the web version, which isn’t optimized for tablets. A specialized app will fit the iPad’s larger screen precisely and look and feel much better. Videos, pictures, and messages will all look much better.
• The best feature is “Companion Mode”! The new iPad app will function in “companion mode.” This implies that even if your iPhone isn’t online, your iPad can send and receive WhatsApp messages. For your iPad WhatsApp to function, you won’t need to keep your phone close by and online. Like WhatsApp on your PC, it will be far more autonomous.
• All of Your Conversations, Anywhere: Imagine being able to pick up your conversations where you left off when you switch between your iPhone and iPad with ease. All of your chats will be synchronized across all of your devices thanks to the new app.

So, when can you get it?

Although WhatsApp hasn’t yet made an official “launch date” announcement to the public, they have been giving some very clear clues!

• For nearly two years, WhatsApp has been testing this iPad app with a select few users. The good news is that according to those testers, it is stable and functions well.
• Recently, when a user requested an iPad app on social media, the official WhatsApp account even responded with the “eyes” emoji. This is an obvious indication that they are preparing to make it available to the general public!

What to do while you wait:

Until the official app arrives in the App Store, you can still use WhatsApp Web on your iPad:

1. Open your iPad’s internet browser (like Safari).
2. Go to https://web.whatsapp.com/
3. You’ll see a QR code on your iPad screen.
4. On your iPhone or Android phone, open the WhatsApp app.
5. Go to Settings (usually a gear icon or three dots).
6. Tap on Linked Devices.
7. Tap Link a Device and use your phone’s camera to scan the QR code on your iPad.

After that, your iPad will display your WhatsApp conversations. To make it feel more like an app, you can even save this webpage to the home screen of your iPad!

It appears that a proper WhatsApp experience on your iPad is quickly approaching, and the anticipation is growing. Prepare yourself for better, larger conversations!
