Unfortunately for WhatsApp users, Meta is completely in control of if an iPad version ever releases. It would allow users who want to use their iPad to chat with friends a free alternative. The code from the iPhone version would be reused with an interface designed for the iPad. Meta has not said why there’s not an official version of WhatsApp on iPad, and frankly, it doesn’t make sense. One of the benefits of WhatsApp is that it’s end-to-end encrypted, but if another app or company has your login information, you can’t assume your communications are private at that point, as your password will allow the encryption to be unlocked.

Beware of sites claiming to offer an authorized version of a 3rd party alternative. There is no official WhatsApp on iPad app at the moment. Much more than iMessage and Signal-but significantly less than Snapchat, Google, Messenger, and TikTok. On the other hand, WhatsApp collects a lot of data from its users. Twitter and Instagram don’t have the same level of security as Facebook. Even though the app is owned by Facebook and thus has access to some of your personal data, it doesn’t have a way to snoop on private conversations. Hackers can’t read messages sent via WhatsApp. In general, WhatsApp is considered a secure platform: each message sent through it is encrypted, and only the sender and receiver can decode those messages. But is WhatsApp a security risk? That kind of popularity usually makes any software vulnerable. No messaging platform is without vulnerabilities-every social media platform has hackers attempting to break through it. WhatsApp users share over 41 million messages daily.

With the introduction of iPad Pro models with smart keyboard and mouse support, it’s clear the iPad is now a desktop computer for those that want extreme mobility, but unfortunately, users are at the mercy of Meta if they want WhatsApp on iPad. WhatsApp and Instagram ( Instagram doesn’t have an iPad app either) are both owned by Meta (the parent company of Facebook), and it’s clear they don’t believe in Apple’s tablet and the benefits for its app.

The longer answer has to do with what you can do on your iPad, and how it compares to other mobile devices like smartphones and laptops. The short answer is that the company hasn’t created one yet.
