Meta has launched a dedicated WhatsApp app for iPad, offering full iPadOS support, multitasking features, and seamless syncing across devices.

Meta has finally released WhatsApp for iPad, which is a major development in the universe of mobile apps. Earlier, users of iPad were compelled to use the web version of WhatsApp through a browser for accessing the much-loved messaging platform. With the new app for iPad, however, users have a full-fledged experience designed specifically for iPadOS.

The WhatsApp iPad app offers video and audio calling with 32 people, enabling users to connect easily for group discussions. It also allows screen sharing and the option of switching between the front or back cameras during a call — features meant to improve communication on a bigger screen. The app takes maximum advantage of iPadOS multitasking features, such as Stage Manager, Split View, and Slide Over. These multitasking tools let users interact with multiple apps simultaneously, such as messaging friends while browsing the web or researching a group trip during a call, creating a more productive mobile app experience on iPad.

Meta also emphasizes the app's integration with Apple accessories such as the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil, providing users with multiple methods of interacting with the app aside from the touchscreen. In addition to this, the WhatsApp iPad app keeps personal messages, calls, and media secure with end-to-end encryption while upholding the privacy expectations of users across devices.

The release supports effortless synchronization of WhatsApp content between iPhone, Mac, and now iPad, enhancing user convenience within the Meta universe. The release follows a quiet hint by Meta's WhatsApp presence on X (formerly Twitter), reinforcing the corporation's dedication to increasing its mobile application footprint on the Apple tablet platform.

The WhatsApp iPad app is now live to download from the App Store, and it adds to the list of Meta mobile apps created to provide optimized experiences across devices. Instagram, a Meta app, is also reportedly working on its own iPad app, which hints at more mobile app developments in store.
