WhatsApp has become one of the most popular messaging apps in the world and it is used by millions of people. The app is available for Android, iOS, Windows and Mac devices. But can you use WhatsApp on an iPad?
The answer is yes, but with a few restrictions. WhatsApp can be used on the iPad but it is not officially supported by the company.
In other words, you won’t find a dedicated version of the app for Apple’s tablet in the App Store. That doesn’t mean that it’s not possible to use WhatsApp on an iPad though.
The workaround involves using an unofficial version of the app called “WhatsPad++” which is available in Cydia, a third-party app store for iOS devices. This version of WhatsApp has been modified to work on iPads and it allows users to send and receive messages, make voice and video calls, share files and photos, and more.
Using WhatsPad++
Using WhatsPad++ is fairly simple but there are some things that you need to keep in mind before proceeding. Firstly, this version of WhatsApp is not officially supported by WhatsApp so there may be some bugs or issues that you encounter while using it.
Secondly, since this version of WhatsApp has been modified from its original source code, it may be less secure than the official version. This means that your data may not be as safe as if you were using the official app.
Finally, keep in mind that any changes made to your account via WhatsPad++ may be reversed once you switch back to the official version of WhatsApp.
Conclusion
Yes, it is possible to use WhatsApp on iPad using an unofficial version called WhatsPad++ available in Cydia App Store with certain restrictions like security issues and data reversibility upon switching back to official app.
