WhatsApp Launches on iPad

WhatsApp is officially available on iPad, Meta announced. The new iPad app allows you to make video and audio calls with up to 32 people, share your screen, and use both front and back cameras. Up until now, if you wanted to use WhatsApp on your iPad, you had to use the web version in a browser. The company says users will be able to take advantage of iPadOS multitasking features, such as Stage Manager, Split View, and Slide Over. These features will allow users to do things like view multiple apps at once, send messages while browsing the web, or research options for a group trip while on a call together. On mobile, you would have to switch away from WhatsApp when doing these sorts of things. The new iPad app also works with your Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil, WhatsApp says. With this new app, users will be able to keep everything in sync across their iPhone, Mac, and other devices. Personal messages, calls, and media will still be protected with WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption.
