WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps that most of us use to communicate with our friends, family, and colleagues. It's available on all major app stores for all phones, and there's even a web version for those who want to use it in a web browser on a PC. However, if you are using an iPad, you will find that there is currently no dedicated version of WhatsApp for iPad. The best way to use WhatsApp on iPad is the WhatsApp Web Service.
WhatsApp Web provides access to your WhatsApp account on any device through a web browser. In addition to your main phone, you can connect up to four devices and use them to send and receive messages on your WhatsApp account even when your phone is offline.
Connecting a new device via WhatsApp web requires unique configuration. Here you can find the progressive web and use WhatsApp on your iPad:
1- Connect your iPad to your WhatsApp account together:
- Open the Safari browser on your iPad and access the WhatsApp website. You can use any other browser, but Safari has the ability to add a shortcut (shortcut) to the iPad home screen that gives you quick access to the site.
- Open the WhatsApp application on your phone, whether it is an Android phone or an iPhone. If you are using an iPhone, go to the “Settings” tab at the bottom of the WhatsApp application and then click on the “Linked Devices” option and then click on “Linked Devices”.
- However, if you are using an Android phone, tap the three-dot button on the top right corner of the Maineppp app and tap the 'Link device' option and then on the connected device.
- Take your phone and scan the QR code on the WhatsApp website. Wait for WhatsApp. Download your news.
2- Use WhatsApp web on iPad:
After linking your iPad to your WhatsApp account, you can start using it right away. All you have to do is open Safari or another web browser and visit the WhatsApp website. Then WhatsApp will download the conversation and you can use it as a phone and you can see all existing and new messages.
3- Add a WhatsApp web shortcut to your iPad home screen:
Instead of opening Safari or another web browser and accessing WhatsApp web to use it, you can add a shortcut to your iPad home screen to quickly access WhatsApp web. To add a shortcut, do the following:
- Open WhatsApp web in the Safari browser on your iPad and tap on the share icon that appears in the top toolbar.
- Click the Add Start Screen option
- Click on the "Add context window" option. Next, you will notice the WhatsApp app icon on the iPad home screen.
You can move the shortcut to any home screen page that you find handy and every time you want to use WhatsApp on iPad.
Restricted use of Web WhatsApp on iPad
After linking your iPad to your WhatsApp account, you can view all your conversations, send messages, view messages, check the status of your contacts, start new conversations, or add new groups or communities. However, there are certain things that you cannot do, for example for example:
- Answer or make audio and video calls.
- Add case.
- Permanently delete a message or conversation.
In addition, WhatsApp does not currently support browser notifications, so you can check new messages yourself by visiting the site.
