After years of waiting, WhatsApp has finally released its own iPad app. The app went live today and is now available for download from the App Store. Many users have been asking for it for a long time, and the moment is finally here.
WhatsApp Finally Launches a Dedicated App for iPad
WhatsApp first teased the launch yesterday with a mysterious post on its official X (formerly Twitter) account. Today, it made the big news official. You can now use WhatsApp on your iPad without needing to rely on a web browser or complicated setup.
The new app brings all the main features you’d expect. You can make audio and video calls with up to 32 people. Screen sharing is also supported. You can switch between the front and back cameras during calls.
WhatsApp for iPad Is Here at Last
The app works smoothly with iPadOS. It supports Stage Manager, Split View, and Slide Over. This means you can message friends while using other apps at the same time. It’s great for multitasking. The app also works well with the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil.
One of the best parts is device syncing. Your chats, calls, and media stay in sync across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Everything updates automatically. WhatsApp also ensures your messages and calls remain private with end-to-end encryption.
Worried about privacy on a shared device? WhatsApp’s Chat Lock feature lets you hide specific conversations. This adds an extra layer of security if others also use your iPad.
In short, WhatsApp on iPad is finally here—and it’s full-featured. From video calls to multitasking support, it offers everything iPhone users already enjoy. Plus, it keeps your messages safe and private across all your devices. If you’ve been waiting, now’s the time to download it from the App Store and give it a try.
