WhatsApp Comes To iPad At Last: Here’s Why They’re A Dream Combo

  • WhatsApp officially launched its long-awaited native iPad app on May 27, 2025, providing full support for iPadOS features and the Apple App Store availability.
  • Meta developed the iPad app after years of focusing largely on smartphones and recognizing the growing importance of tablets for professional and remote work.
  • The app features a two-pane interface similar to the Mac desktop version, supports Split View, Slide Over, Stage Manager, Picture in Picture, and calls with up to 32 participants.
  • WhatsApp emphasized that with features like chat lock, users can keep their conversations secure and confidential on shared iPads, supported by end-to-end encryption across all devices and platforms.
  • This launch may prompt Meta to expand iPad support to its other apps, reflecting a shift in strategy to better serve tablet users and changing communication habits.
