Yes it is true, WhatsApp messenger has arrived on the iPad App Store! WhatsApp officially launched in late 2009 and now 16 years later we have a dedicated iPad App.

WhatsApp is arguably the most popular messaging app on the planet with over 3 Billion users monthly. This is for both personal and as well as business accounts. The new iPad WhatsApp app brings the full WhatsApp experience to your iPad, including messaging, calls, and app lock. Unlike previous versions, you can now use WhatsApp on your iPad without needing to link it to an iPhone. This means you can enjoy the same features and functionality on a larger screen, making it easier to chat, make calls, and share your screen. Of course you can still link it to your primary WhatsApp device for a seamless experience much like iMessage, still our favorite.
