The most widespread and well-known messaging tool today continues to have deficiencies And it is that WhatsApp is still not as multiplatform as expected of it, even more so when its direct competitor, LINE is already present in both smartphones such as tablets and even computers (except for Nokia with operating system Symbian).However, there are solutions to bring WhatsApp to our tablets, even to iPad A solution that, although is not comfortable, it is fully functional.
There are two methods to make WhatsApp work on a iPad , however, for this it is necessary to have released our tablet through the well-known system Jailbreak And it is that the installation processes that must be carried out to useWhatsApp on these devices do not have Apple support Thus, we must think carefully if we want to carry out this operation, knowing that there is certain risk in it. But if we already have the Jailbreak done we only have to perform a couple of steps
One of the methods is to carry out all the steps from our iPad To do this, all we have to do is download a modified version of WhatsApp that we can find in the different application markets outside App Store or via Internet After installing it we must avoid starting it since, like the original version, it cannot be used on the tablet of Apple
After that, in Cydia, the well-known market for applications and tools for Apple devices, we must search and download the application WhatsPad Once installed It should already be possible to use WhatsApp on our iPad, although the most recommended isreboot the device before launching the application.
The other method requires a computer as an intermediary, although the scheme is basically the same. The first thing is to download a modified version of WhatsApp on your computer. After that, using iFunBox, a tool similar to iTunes that helps us to manage all the contents of our device from the computer Windows or Mac , we must install this modified version of WhatsApp To do this, just click on the Install button App and choose the previously downloaded WhatsApp file .
When you finish this step, and as with the previous method, you need to access Cydia and download and install the applicationWhatsPadAt the end of the process and after reboot the device we should be able to use WhatsApp regularly in our iPad
Thus, all that remains is to enter our phone number and start chatting, having individual conversations , groups and the possibility to share photos, videos, sounds or even location As in the version foriPhone Of course, we will find that WhatsApp does not take advantage of the entire screen of our iPad, since it is a application optimized for the panels of smartphones However, in Cydia we find tools like Fullforce or RetinaPad to enlarge WhatsApp imageand use it comfortably on our tablet
