It has been possible to use WhatsApp on Android tablets for a year now, but on iPads it was still not available even though all the other pieces of the puzzle, such as the new multi-device mode, are already ready.
Rumors of the WhatsApp version for iPad began a couple of years ago and it seems that, finally, we will be able to get our hands on it very soon. In fact, it is already possible to who are part of the WhatsApp beta program for iOSin Testflight.
WhatsApp for iPad, in beta
The wait has been long, very long, for those who wanted chat with your WhatsApp account from an iPad without having to resort to tricks that are not exactly the same as using the application natively. After all, it’s been possible to do this with Android tablets for a year now, so it should be possible to do the same with an iPad.
The wait seems to be coming to an end, as WhatsApp for iPad is being distributed for who are part of the WhatsApp beta program in Testflight. Unfortunately, the program has been full for a couple of years now, so unless you are very lucky, you won’t be able to join if you weren’t already in.

As expected, WhatsApp for iPad is a version of WhatsApp adapted to the largest screen, with a two column layout which, on the other hand, is very similar to how WhatsApp looks on an iPhone. The application works independently of the mobile phone, taking advantage of the new multi-device mode.
Those who are not part of the beta They will have to continue waiting, with the consolation that at least now global availability should be a matter of weeks or at most a few months. It’s the final stretch to finally be able to chat on WhatsApp from your iPad.
