After years of anticipation, WhatsApp has released its official iPad app, now available for download on the App Store.
The app mirrors the iPhone version, allowing users to send messages, and make audio and video calls with up to 32 participants.
It supports both front and rear cameras, screen sharing during calls, and integrates seamlessly with iPadOS multitasking features like Split View and Slide Over.
Users can now chat while browsing the web or using other apps, enhancing multitasking capabilities on the iPad.

The app also supports accessories like the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil, providing a versatile user experience.
Chats, calls, and media are synchronized across devices, including iPhone, iPad, and Mac, ensuring continuity and convenience.
End-to-end encryption safeguards all communications, and a new chat lock feature adds an extra layer of privacy, especially on shared devices.
Previously, iPad users had to rely on web browsers or third-party apps to access WhatsApp, which lacked full functionality.
This official release eliminates the need for workarounds, offering a native and fully-featured WhatsApp experience on the iPad.
With this launch, WhatsApp continues to expand its accessibility across different platforms, catering to a broader user base.
