WhatsApp, the largest private instant messaging app globally, has finally arrived on Apple's iPad. This move opens up new communication possibilities for over 2 billion monthly users who rely on WhatsApp daily.
On iPadOS, WhatsApp supports audio and video calls with up to 32 participants, screen sharing, and leverages both front and rear cameras for versatile communication.
The app integrates deeply with iPad’s multitasking capabilities, including:
- Stage Manager to view multiple apps simultaneously while messaging
- Split View to send texts while browsing the web
- Slide Over to conduct research during group calls
WhatsApp also supports iPadOS Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil, enhancing usability for typing and note-taking during conversations.
A key benefit is seamless synchronization across devices, including iPhone, Mac, and now iPad, ensuring all messages and calls are accessible in one place.

By expanding to iPad, WhatsApp broadens its reach, enabling users to stay connected across more devices with enhanced multitasking and productivity features.
If you own an iPad, you can download WhatsApp for free from the App Store and experience these new capabilities firsthand.
