WhatsApp for iPad Will Be a Standalone App Like iOS, Official Launch Expected in Few Weeks

WhatsApp recently turned ten but the Facebook-owned instant messaging company did not release an app for Apple iPad users. While WhatsApp supports Apple iPhones, Android phones and tablets, it did not add support for Apple iPad for some unknown reasons. However, that’s going to change very soon as references to WhatsApp for iPad were spotted on the latest WhatsApp for iOS v2.19.40. The new update for iOS brings various bug fixes, and at the same time, it reveals that WhatsApp is in advanced stages of releasing an iPad app. Unlike what rumours said earlier, WhatsApp for iPad will be a standalone application and it will not a WhatsApp Web client, meaning you can log in with your mobile number on an iPad and start messaging to the contacts.

WhatsApp for iPad Will Offer All Features of WhatsApp iOS App

One of the reasons why WhatsApp become so popular is because of its simple user interface. The upcoming WhatsApp for iPad will have a similar interface as WhatsApp for iOS and it even brings the same features to the table. WABetaInfo reports that WhatsApp for iPad offers audio & video calls, WhatsApp Status, Groups and it even has support for a landscape mode. It even supports WhatsApp Stickers which the company introduced to Android and iOS apps late in 2018.

WhatsApp recently rolled out authentication feature to iOS users and the same will be available for iPad users as well. For the unaware, authentication feature on WhatsApp allows users to secure their account using the Touch ID or Face ID depending on the iPad model. The newly iPads come with Face ID while the older ones feature Touch ID, similar to Apple iPhones.
