These features allow users to see many apps together, send messages or find options for group trips during calling. Users on smartphones usually have to leave WhatsApp to do such a task. Whatsapp also stated that the new iPad app works easily with magic keyboard and Apple Pencil.

Let me tell you that Meta did not give any special answer to why it did not release a separate app of the world’s most popular messaging platform on the iPad. While it is one of the best selling tablets in the market. Whatsapp released the app at the Apple App Store in 2009 6 months before the launch of the iPad. META acquired WhatsApp in 2014, but still did not introduce a separate app for iPad.

Users had long wanted to work on a separate app on WhatsApp iPad. However, the WhatsApp web client could be accessed on Apple’s tablet, but users could not use the front or rear camera or could not make video calls with full feature. While whatsapp was always available on the iPhone, he could not walk on the version iPad due to the ban on Apple’s telephony app. Now WhatsApp is optimized for a large display of iPad with a separate iPad app. Users no longer need to depend on the web based version of the platform.
