iPad users now have the option to install Meta’s WhatsApp messaging app, after 15 years on the market.

iPad users were only able to use WhatsApp Web. Meta’s decision to make it available for these devices opens up a range of communication possibilities by downloading it from the App Store.

The native iPad app was adapted for devices and allows you to do virtually the same things as with the iPhone: making “voice and video calls with up to 32 people, using both the device’s cameras (front and rear), and sharing your screen during a video call.”

The technology company has announced the availability of the app in a discreet message on the X social network, which maintains end-to-end encryption, as well as synchronization between devices for calls, messages, and files.

WhatsApp is developing a new functionality for Android that allows you to open the instant messaging application with the same phone number or user on two mobile terminals simultaneously.

Currently, WhatsApp allows you to link the smartphone application with other devices, such as a computer or a tablet, with its web version through the “Linked devices” option.

Users can use up to four paired devices and one phone at a time, without the phone being kept online to use WhatsApp on these devices. However, if more than 14 days have passed, and it has not been used, the linked devices will be disconnected, according to the company on its website.

The WABetaInfo portal recently spoke about a change related to the way the user has to link an account with other technological devices in the new version 2.22.10.13 released through the Google Play beta program in which the company is currently working.

A screenshot shared by this portal includes a new section called “Register device as a plug-in“, which will appear when the user tries to open the application on a second mobile.

WhatsApp has announced the reinforcement of the security of WhatsApp Web and desktop applications with an additional layer of protection through facial recognition or fingerprints to link the users account to their computer.

These versions for computers will include new functions, as announced by WhatsApp, as they want to ensure that they have a good level of protection, just like the one used on mobile devices.

Specifically, before the user scans the QR code from their phone to link the account to WhatsApp Web or WhatsApp desktop, they will be required to unlock the application through facial recognition or fingerprint, as available for the mobile operating system.

This new measure will limit the possibility that another person can link devices to the user’s WhatsApp account without permission, as explained by the company in a statement. It is also done “in a way that preserves privacy”. That is, “WhatsApp cannot access the biometric information stored by the device’s operating system,” they say.

The new security update will be available for users with compatible devices in the coming weeks, along with a visual redesign of the WhatsApp Web page for mobile phones.
