WhatsApp Officially Launches on iPad
Meta officially released the long-awaited WhatsApp app for iPad. Users can now enjoy a dedicated iPad experience with features optimized for the larger screen.
Enhanced Features and Functionality
The WhatsApp iPad app offers several key improvements:
- Video and audio calls with up to 32 people
- Screen sharing capabilities
- Support for both front and back cameras
- Seamless integration with iPadOS multitasking features like Stage Manager, Split View, and Slide Over
- Compatibility with Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil
These features allow for greater productivity, enabling users to multitask efficiently. For example, users can browse the web while messaging or research information during a group call without switching apps.
Synced Messaging and Security
The new app syncs messages, calls, and media across iPhone, Mac, and other linked devices. WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption ensures all communication remains private and secure.
Availability
The dedicated WhatsApp iPad app is now available for download on the App Store.
This launch follows a recent teaser from Meta's WhatsApp account on X (formerly Twitter), hinting at the app's imminent arrival. It's also worth noting that Instagram, another Meta-owned platform, is reportedly developing its own dedicated iPad app.
