In response to days of feverish need , WhatsApp is in the end rolling out on the iPad . In its former old age the popular messaging app was available only on iPhone and Android , and although aweb versionlater enabled users to access their messages on a Mac or PC , the developers unwaveringly refused to release a iPad interpretation of the app . Until now .
Earlier this weekWABetaInforeported on the genus Beta release of WhatsApp variation 23.19.1.71 through TestFlight . This rendering is the first to be compatible with the iPad , using the pre - existent comrade mode to extend an iOS account across to a second gadget .
There are a few complications and limitations to support in brain . First , this is still in genus Beta , and you ’ll need to be part of the special WhatsApp iOS TestFlight beta plan to assay it out . Being a genus Beta , it ’s entirely possible the new version will have faults of which the developer are not yet cognisant .
And secondly , it ’s still not possible to install WhatsApp on your iPad without own memory access to an iPhone . The manner it works is that you put in the beta versions on both your iPhone and your iPad , then launch the context on the iPhone and prefer the option to ‘ Link a machine . ’ From this point on , the iPad runs WhatsApp independently – you could call on off the iPhone , have it disconnected from the internet , and the iPad will still get all the subject matter – but there ’s no escaping the indigence to have the iPhone in the first place .
These caveats apart , this is vast news for WhatsApp ’s many Apple - based users , who over the age have visited ourHow to get WhatsApp on iPadtutorial in immense numbers racket . Assuming the genus Beta mental process is a success , promise are high that this feature will shortly be available to all iPad owners .
