Rumors of WhatsApp coming to iPad have been circulating for a few years now, but it never turns out to be true. Now, there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel for those hoping to see the instant messaging app on Apple’s tablets.
“People have been wanting an iPad app for a long time. We want to do that,” WhatsApp boss Will Cathcart told The Verge in an interview. While Cathcart didn’t go so far as to hint that a tablet-specific app will see the light of day or any possible launch date, it’s encouraging news to say that he and his team are keen on making WhatsApp for iPad a reality.
Cathcart added that WhatsApp engineers have recently been busy updating the encrypted messaging app to work independently on multiple devices. Your phone will no longer need to be turned on and connected to the internet to send messages with WhatsApp. You can also do this online. However, when this update will arrive has not been announced.
