WhatsApp is finally preparing to roll out a dedicated app for Apple iPad users—a long-awaited update for those tired of relying on the web version.
Beta Testing Nearly Wrapped
The app has been in testing through Apple’s TestFlight program for nearly two years. While the beta is full, early testers have reported that it’s stable and runs smoothly. This extended testing period shows Meta is focused on delivering a polished experience before opening it up to everyone.
A Hint from WhatsApp
Fueling anticipation, the official WhatsApp account recently responded to a user on X (formerly Twitter) with a playful “eyes” emoji when asked about the iPad app, hinting that the release might be near.
What to Expect from the iPad App
The iPad version of WhatsApp will include Companion Mode. It means users can access their chats without keeping their iPhone online. The interface is also designed specifically for iPad, offering a more comfortable and user-friendly layout compared to the iPhone app or browser version.
Still No Release Date
There’s no official launch date yet. The increased buzz and social media hints suggest the release could be just around the corner.
And while iPad users may soon get WhatsApp, they’re still waiting on another highly requested app: Instagram, which remains unavailable on iPad for now.
