Head of WhatsApp on releasing an iPad app: ‘We’d love to do it’

WhatsApp’s chief has a message for those who have been clamoring for a native iPad app: don’t give up hope.

“People have wanted an iPad app for a long time.” Will Cathcart, the head of WhatsApp at its parent company Meta, toldLike Instagram for the iPad, a version of WhatsApp for Apple’s tablet has long eluded users despite being a heavily requested feature.

Because of the way WhatsApp encrypts messages, it historically hasn’t been able to sync chats across devices over the internet like most other messaging apps work. So if WhatsApp on your phone didn’t have access to the internet, the desktop client didn’t work. The beta version of multi-device support lets you sync your WhatsApp account on up to four devices at a time, a process that involves mapping device identifiers to an account key on WhatsApp’s servers in a way that’s still encrypted.

How are you guys using Whatsapp on an iPad right now? I’m having trouble finding a good solution (for instance: I can’t copy and paste in WhatsApp web version on Safari)

Same reason instagram dont has an ipad App. Not enough data to collect.

Tried in iPad, yet not working

hard to believe such a huge app does not have an ipad version

Switch to Telegram from this bs

Instagram it's such a shame also, but designed in California by Apple.

they are like Internet Explorer in the messaging world

Use signalapp

Prime example of the difference between “would” and “will”

I just moved to using Signal, problem solved

But won’t
