Until relatively recently, WhatsApp didn’t officially work on tablets, although you were free to install the app on one with the APK. The support arrived last year, but the interface did not adapt to the larger screen of the tablets. now finally WhatsApp takes advantage of the big screen of tablets with a two-column view.
Thanks to WhatsApp’s new multi-device mode, we can finally use WhatsApp on mobile and tablet at the same time, but the tablet experience left a lot to be desired, since it’s the same, but big. In the latest WhatsApp beta, finally the interface is adapted to take advantage of the extra space
Two-column interface in WhatsApp
When we tested WhatsApp on a tablet with the new cross-device mode last year, we noticed that the technology worked very well, but it was a shame that the interface was the same as the mobile, but bigger. This made chats a bit difficult to read and we kept having to go back to the previous screen to switch chats.
WhatsApp worked on it and now it finally has the two column and split screen view. In other words, when you enter a chat, you continue to see the chat list

Basically, it’s the same thing WhatsApp Web or WhatsApp Desktop looks like these days, so the interface is quite easy to use and also familiar. This split screen view is available whether we are using WhatsApp with the tablet horizontally and verticallyas long as the screen is big enough.
According to WaBetaInfo, the novelty is available from WhatsApp 2.23.5.9 beta, although it is hoped that it will soon reach everyone. If you already use WhatsApp on a tablet, you don’t have to wait any longer: download the APK of this version from APKMirror.
