WhatsApp for tablets can now be downloaded from the Google Play Store
Table of contents:
Of course, at the moment only for betatester users or testers on Android. And it is that WhatsApp does things slowly but on the right foot. Little by little one of the functions demanded by the user community arrives, albeit in a limited way. Something that makes us think that, shortly, chatting from the tablet with the latest news from the messaging platform will not be complicated or limited
At the moment, and as confirmed by the source of rumors and WhatsApp news, WABetaInfo, the new version of WhatsApp can be installed on tablets from the Google Play Store.It is the version 2.18.367, and this means not having to download the application from other web pages that do not have Google's security barriers in the Android operating system. A real plus point for those who want to answer their messages from a larger screen.
Good news: you can now install WhatsApp on your Android tablet directly from the Play Store (ONLY IF YOU'RE A BETA TESTER - 2.18.367)!It wasn't possible in the past and it It was necessary to download the APK separately.

Of course, this does not change anything from the normal operation of WhatsApp for tablets And it is a mere imitation of WhatsApp Web. In other words, we have to keep the mobile phone operational and connected to the Internet to replicate the conversations on the tablet screen. Something that many users suffer from, as well as the design of WhatsApp on large screens, since it is not entirely comfortable as it happens on mobile phones.
Other news coming to Android
In the latest beta or test version for Android, small new features have also been found regarding the design and the search function for GIFs and stickersApparently, for now, they are hidden from users, but it means that WhatsApp is working on it to improve it.

It is a better search engine that displays the entire screen to find GIFs more easily and visually You only have to include a term to display suggestions all over the screen. In addition, it is possible to search with words or Emoji emoticons in the case of stickers. In this way it should be faster to find that element we are looking for with a simple search.
No Dark Mode News
Another request that is often read on the WABetaInfo Twitter profile is that of dark mode. A few months ago, he released the news about the work that WhatsApp was doing on it. However, there is no date for his official arrival And this remains unchanged. Apparently there is no news, although it is still awaited with concern. Jobs are still slow but continuous.
