iPad users can now enjoy WhatsApp, 15 years after its initial release.

WhatsApp Enhances iPad Experience with New Features and Dedicated App

WhatsApp has taken a significant step forward in enhancing the user experience for its iPad app. The popular messaging platform has released a dedicated app for iPad, offering a host of new features and improvements.

The new WhatsApp app for iPad supports Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil, offering users a more intuitive and interactive experience. The app also offers an interface optimised for the iPad's screen, making navigation smoother and more enjoyable.

One of the standout features of the new iPad app is the ability to share your screen and use both front and back cameras during calls. This feature adds a new dimension to video calls, making them more engaging and interactive.

Another notable feature is Chat Lock, which allows users to lock their private conversations with biometric or passcode authentication. This added layer of security gives users peace of mind, knowing their conversations are safe and secure.

WhatsApp's multi-device capability is also available on the iPad app. This feature allows users to send and receive messages even if their main phone is offline or its battery is dead.

The iPad app also supports voice and video calls with up to 32 people, making it ideal for group discussions and meetings.

While there are currently no official announcements about new improvements or integrations specifically for the iPad version of WhatsApp, the platform is testing features like direct story integration in chat and better group call management. These features are not iPad-specific, but they are expected to be rolled out to the app in the future.

In addition, iPadOS's multitasking tools, including Split View, Slide Over, and Stage Manager, can be used with the WhatsApp app. This means users can multitask more efficiently, making the most of their iPad's capabilities.

It's important to note that the WhatsApp app for iPad is not a prank and is available for download if compatible with your device. So, iPad users can now enjoy a more feature-rich and optimised messaging experience with WhatsApp.
