Application to use WhatsApp Web on iOS
WhatsApp in recent times has incorporated new features, so many expect that there will soon be a solution and therefore an update that allows you to use this network properly on the iPad . Perhaps the main reason that led Mark Zuckerberg not to do so is the company’s own message delivery strategy.
For now, another way to do it in a simple and more convenient way is through an application. Chat for WhatsApp, This app is free and works exactly like the native version for mobile. With it you can send and receive messages on all devices, iPad Mini, iPad Air or iPad Pro .
