WhatsApp Finally Arrives on iPad version : The WhatsApp messenger mobile client is now available on Apple tablets for the first time in the 15 years since the original iPad was released. To mark this occasion, the developers published a “congratulatory” post on their blog and detailed the capabilities of this “new-old” application on the iPadOS platform.
In addition to regular messaging, WhatsApp for iPad also supports other messenger features. For example, you can make group audio and video calls (up to 32 people) with screen sharing and the use of both cameras on the device. Data synchronization with iPhone and Mac is supported, and the traditional end-to-end encryption for the messenger remains.
