A select few lucky WhatsApp beta testers got a pleasant surprise this week when the app revealed that it is developing an iPad-optimized version of its iOS software in preparation for introducing a WhatsApp-like app for iPad users.
The upgraded iPad app is now present in WhatsApp’s TestFlight app, version 23.19.1.71, as first reported by WABetaInfo.
According to leaked screenshots, the messaging network, which Meta owns, is still developing the app, but it might be published shortly.
Fans have long hoped for a WhatsApp app just for the iPad.
And it seems as though their prayers may have finally been heeded.
According to beta images that WABetaInfo has access to, the app appears to be taking advantage of the iPad’s greater screen area, The Sun said.
It will operate like the desktop mode and serve as an additional app for your main smartphone account.
As a result, connecting a device will require scanning a QR code.
You can use WhatsApp on your iPad independently, even if your phone is not connected to the internet.
Thankfully, your iPad and any phone, including iPhones and Android phones, can sync texts.
With the recent launch of a Mac-compatible app WhatsApp, the move was taken.
The beta version of the software is still being tested by professionals.
Whether or when the app will be made accessible to a larger audience has not been announced by WhatsApp.
The most recent update, though, suggests that an iPad version is surely coming.
Therefore be on the lookout for any future modifications.
