WhatsApp Now on iPad: Calls, Chats, Fully Synced

DDM News

In a major upgrade set to thrill millions of users, WhatsApp has officially launched a dedicated app for iPad.

The move, confirmed by Meta, allows users to enjoy seamless access to WhatsApp across phones, tablets, and desktop devices.

Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) reports that this long-awaited feature now supports everything from voice and video calling to real-time messaging.

Before this release, iPad users could only access WhatsApp via Safari or third-party workarounds like WhatsApp Web.

These alternatives, however, lacked key features such as calling and real-time push notifications.

The new iPad app changes that narrative.

It provides full native functionality and integrates smoothly with an existing WhatsApp account using the familiar QR code linking method.

Once paired, the iPad functions independently, no need to keep your smartphone connected or even powered on. Users can now send messages, make encrypted calls, and receive updates directly from their tablet.

WhatsApp’s multi-device capability, previously limited to desktops and phones, now includes Apple’s tablet line, giving users greater flexibility in how they communicate.

The update is part of WhatsApp’s broader strategy to enhance cross-platform integration, a space where competitors like Telegram and Signal have already made inroads.

With more than two billion users globally, WhatsApp’s new iPad functionality is expected to drive even greater user engagement, particularly among students, remote workers, and professionals.

Technology experts say this rollout is a long-overdue step and will likely cement WhatsApp’s dominance in the global messaging space.

The iPad app is free to download from the Apple App Store and retains all essential privacy protections, including WhatsApp’s signature end-to-end encryption.

Meta also confirmed that future updates would bring even more improvements to multi-device support, further enhancing the user experience across platforms.

With this new development, WhatsApp positions itself as a truly universal communication hub, always accessible, always secure, and now more versatile than ever.
