Last month WhatsApp was confirmed to TechRadar that it would soon launch support to use an account on several devices, and now there is more evidence that the iPad application for WhatsApp will be included in the boost feature.
Tweet from steps that are always reliable in @wabetainfo show off the WhatsApp screens’ catch that runs on the iPad as one of the devices that are linked to the account. At present, multi-device support is being tested by a limited number of users.
Tweet refers to “Multi-Device 2.0”, indicating that more devices – especially iPads and tablets running Android – will be added to the mixture immediately. At present, only web applications, desktop applications, and Facebook portal gadgets meet the requirements as part of multi-device settings.

The WhatsApp CEO will previously noted that he would “like” to see the WhatsApp application for the iPad, which sounded promising for Apple tablet owners who want to sort out their calls.
Multi-device support means each device gets a separate connection to WhatsApp. At present, if you open a desktop or web application, they synchronize conversations from your mobile; In the future, this application will communicate directly with the WhatsApp server, while maintaining end-to-end encryption it is known.
According to this new leak, support for iPad and Android tablets are now “moderate to develop” and will appear “in future updates”, even though we have no details in terms of specific launch schedules or windows. Based on this new evidence, it will happen faster than later.
Multi-device support is certainly long ago, we have talked about WhatsApp that allows users to enter from several devices for several years at this time, and now it looks as if waiting will end.
Whether it’s an iMessage, Google Chat, Facebook Messenger or Telegram, most of the message applications now work smoothly on several devices at once – and the Owner WhatsApp Facebook knows that users will want to get into several places simultaneously. Need to continue to add features to follow.
There will still be an important limitation, even with this new multi-device support: You can still only use WhatsApp with one smartphone at once. Secondary devices must be computers and (as we have learned today) tablets.
Tweet Follow-up from @wabetainfo confirm that the iPad application will indeed become a native application than a web application, and it will work independently from iPhone and other devices. The fastest way to get new functionality is to join beta whatsapp.
