Very recently, WhatsApp has released a new official update for the iOS application that users can download from the App Store and which corresponds to version number 2.19.40. We are facing a version that is compatible with the iPhone. But the company is working on something else,that doesn't exactly have to do with Apple's phone, but with its tablet.
We are talking about the version of WhatsApp for iPad,which is still being worked on. The edition would be perfectly adapted for tablets and would have many improvements that users of these devices will appreciate.
If you're eager to try it, keep calm. The app won't be available on the App Store for a few weeks. These are the forecasts, although there is the possibility of accessing WhatsApp Messenger in TestFlight. However, it should be noted that the beta program is now complete.
WhatsApp will truly be compatible with the iPad
At last. It is something that iPad users were waiting for like rain in May, because the truth is that at this point, the only thing that exists is an application for iPad that is more or less compatible and that works through WhatsApp Web. However, in order to use this tool – which most of us have operational on our computers – it is necessary that the iPhone on which the original WhatsApp is installed is connected to the Internet Otherwise, it is impossible to use the messaging application.
From now on, with the new application that WhatsApp is designing, users will be able to use the tool from their tablet, although they will have to do so with a different number. It is expected, however, that in the not too distant future WhatsApp will offer users the possibility of using the same number both on their iPad and on their iPhone, although it is also through WhatsApp Web.
First leaked images
It will be the closest solution to a compatible application that iPad users will have, for now. Now, and although the app is not yet available to the general public, the specialist medium WaBetaInfo has published a good number of screenshots that reveal the appearance of the iPad application
After you have installed the iPad app, WhatsApp can be opened normally. The login screen is the same as we can see in other versions.
The first thing users should do is register their WhatsApp account, using a different phone number. From there, what they will find will be with all the functions and features that the main application has, but with an interface totally adapted to iPad.
Main WhatsApp news for iPad
The first novelty we find is a chat screen, which has been redesigned, and offers a split view. That is, distinct space for the chat itself and the list of recently opened conversations.
There is also another important issue, which is the ability to view and use WhatsApp for iPad in landscape mode To talk to a contact, All you have to do is click on it – having performed a search with the first letters of your name – and start typing.
In addition, the user can chat and view different conversations at the same time. And within the call screen you can read all the details of incoming and outgoing calls.
The status screen has not been divided into two. We do not know if it is not necessary or because it will be an option that will be added before launching the official version of WhatsApp for iPad for everyone. We will remain attentive to the launch to inform you of its availability.
