It seems like we will finally have a version of the WhatsApp application for iPad. The wait would be about to end if what WABetaInfo has just published on Twitter is confirmed, and that is, in the latest version of WhatsApp that they have been able to access, iPad support already appears.
It would be, as they themselves confirm, the same iPhone app that would bring iPad compatibility. At the moment it is not available to anyone, not even for users registered in the WhatsApp Beta, but they do offer us more images exclusively.

The application would be identical to the one available for the iPhone, with the same characteristics as the smartphone, but adapted to the screen of the Apple tablet. Presumably, it must be associated with the mobile number that we have on our smartphone, and it will probably be done by scanning a QR code as WhatsApp Web or the WhatsApp desktop application (based on WhatsApp Web) does now. The support for Touch ID and Face ID is complete, as in the iPhone application, and video calls could also be made.
As we say, this application would not be independent, but would be included in the iPhone application, which would become a universal app. Remember that at this time not only is it not adapted to the iPad but it is also impossible to install it on the Apple tablet. This version would bring WhatsApp closer to the level of Telegram, which has been offering universal applications for iPhone and iPad for years, but it also has an app for watchOS, which could be the next step of the Facebook messaging application (dreaming is free). We will be attentive and will inform you promptly as soon as the iPad app is available to download in the App Store.
Oysters, that would be great. Although the issue is resolved with telegram, many of our contacts continue with WhatsApp and we continue to depend on this app to be 100% in communication with our people.
