According to My Broadband.co, WhatsApp for iPad would be using multi-device support, another beta feature currently on its testing phase. Multi-device support lets users connect up to four different devices in an encrypted end-to-end connection with WhatsApp. Note, however, that users still need to link their app with an active phone number.

Before this feature, a smartphone had to act as a central hub for other connected devices. If the smartphone lost its internet connection, all other registered devices would stop functioning with WhatsApp. This new feature finally removes this annoying problem.

For WhatsApp beta users running on iOS, keep an eye out for future updates. You might see a new option in "WhatsApp Settings," "Linked Devices," and "Multi-Device Beta." Through the said options, you could register the four different devices you plan to run with WhatsApp--including the iPad.

WhatsApp Download: New Features and Update

Registered WhatsApp beta users will receive the new features and updates automatically when it is made available. Avoid doing manual updates of third-party downloads for the app because both approaches violate the app's terms and conditions. Also, be warned that malware could get installed in this process. With that, it is best to patiently wait for the new WhatsApp iPad feature to get released.

As SlashGear also emphasized, a native WhatsApp application for Android tablets should also be coming soon. This would sync up to the multi-device compatibility mentioned earlier. However, no official release date was confirmed.

In highlight, the registered WhatsApp beta users have a lot of exciting new features to test out. This involves the new multi-device compatibility, iPad and Android tablet app, and other ongoing updates.

WhatsApp beta launched these developments to hear users feedback and receive bugs reports during its testing phase. If users encounter any such problems, they are recommended to go to "WhatsApp Settings" and "Contact Us." Send a screenshot and a short explanation so the developer team could immediately work on the problem.
