The blog WaBetaInfo regularly reports on current beta versions of WhatsApp. As part of this reporting, fans regularly get a taste of upcoming features.
Active WhatsApp users have been demanding an iPad version for years – to no avail. The developers always emphasized that they only wanted to offer the service on smartphones – but eventually, "WhatsApp Web" was introduced. If the smartphone and the PC are on the same Wi-Fi network, the user can link their WhatsApp account to their computer using a QR code and access all chats and the messenger's features. Now, WhatsApp is finally set to be released for the iPad – of course, nothing has been officially confirmed yet.
No differences to the smartphone version
However, the blog WaBetaInfo has already taken part in the closed test phase and was able to confirm that the service has been running perfectly on Apple's tablet for weeks. WhatsApp for iPads is therefore coming. According to the blog, the service works as a standalone app and includes all the functions that are currently available for smartphones - the setup is exactly the same as on an iPhone. The interface also seems to be the same - landscape mode has also been taken into account.
It is currently unknown when the final version of WhatsApp for iPads will be rolled out. WhatsApp Business for iPhone is here – private users also benefit.
