It has quite a crime that being one of the most used applications in many countries and that many of its rivals do have a multiplatform service, the WhatsApp has not yet offered a version for tablets or even a downloadable desktop program that can be used standalone. Today we are talking about two ways through which we can use the messaging app in our iPad, both efficient and functional.
Having WhatsApp in a iPad It is for many a tremendously useful question, even necessary, both on a day-to-day basis, and to solve possible contingencies that assail us at unexpected moments. I explain. On the one hand, it is common for tablet users to park their smartphone when they get home and prefer to use a larger screen in which the battery is also less of a problem. What less than to remain connected to our Contact in the usual way without having to reach for the phone.
On the other hand, if at any given moment the terminal breaks or we forget at work or at a friend's house, be able to use the WhatsApp to solve more or less urgent things from the iPad is an advantage.
I have to say that I am a more intensive user of Telegram, I usually throw this other application with those users who have it installed and who I know do not systematically ignore it. From my point of view, the fact of not having such a mass of users and not having to constantly deal with logistical issues, makes the tool more stable and your developers can focus much more on mere development work. In the end, WhatsApp You can only copy the ideas that previously occurred to Telegram and incorporate them progressively, trying not to break anything.
WhatsApp on iPad, web version
The introduction of WhatsApp Web It was a bit disappointing at the time, as many expected, directly, a desktop version capable of working completely independently of the smartphone. Even so, with the passage of time and taking into account that it is less and less likely that nothing will work without a smartphone in between (you can see our slow reflection about it here), this route has become a truly useful resource to focus all our attention on a single device, be it PC or tablet.
The link that we leave above details point by point how to access the messaging tool using the WhatsApp Web services. Basically the question is to go to your site, display the page with computer format and, from there, follow the usual routine, just as we would from our laptop or desktop. That is, we need to go with the smartphone to the application menu and touch on the WhatsApp Web option to, later, scan the bar code that appears on the iPad. As we say, if these instructions fall short, go to the link. There it is all explained more slowly.
WhatsPad: the same but in an application
The second option that is worth commenting is that of WhatsPad, an App translation of everything we find on WhatsApp Web. This solution is favored by the fact that it is very easy to download and use, being one of the few reliable and comfortable tools of its kind. The problem, however, is that it carries a lot of publicity and that for many can be uncomfortable. If you want to give it a try, you just have to download from this link:
As you will see, it is basically a replica of the web version of WhatsApp and adds almost nothing new. We must scan the code in the same way and keep the smartphone connected to the internet. Its great virtue, we have already said, is that it carries out its purpose without problems and simplifies the use of WhatsApp in our iPad to the highest level possible today. In fact, the good user ratings support its usefulness.
A little trick as a third option
In order to combine the virtues of the two previous options, we suggest you carry out a small operation with which you can obtain more or less the ideal result.
Above we leave you a link on how to make a kind of enforcement for the desktop of our iPad. In this way, it is enough that we enter the WhatsApp Web page and export to the tablet home screen. The messaging service will open in a tab within safari or the browser that we have configured by default, but with the advantage of being able to access immediately and having a version of the interface Whithout ads that bothers us. As simple as that.
