We’ve been “enjoying” some kind of cross-platform system for quite some time that the Mark Zuckerberg-owned company (WhatsApp) recently threw at us, however, we all know it’s some kind of patch that doesn’t work the way we’d like , although we will have to forgive them while it is still in the testing phase.
However, a recent statement from inside WhatsApp Inc. suggests that we will soon have a fully functional iPad version. It’s the story of the wolf that we’ve been hearing for I don’t know how many years but… What if this time it were true?
Once again it was The edge the medium for which WhatsApp’s director of development, Will Cathcart, left this bombshell:
We have worked a lot on different technologies to offer a multi-device service. Our web and desktop versions now support this feature. It would be very interesting to have this technology also on a tablet, that is to say to be able to use WhatsApp on it even if the phone is switched off.
Obviously, this does not expressly refer to the iPad but rather to the world of tablets, a range of products clearly crowned by the iPad, all this in addition to the fact that allusions to the iPad have recently been discovered in Beta versions of WhatsApp as one of the devices accessible through the multi-device system.
All this accompanied by the fact that Facebook and its sub-companies (Instagram and WhatsApp) have always had preferences for development in the Apple environment. For all these reasons we can predict that we will soon enjoy a WhatsApp application in the iPadOS AppStore, I don’t know how many years later, but as we say in Europe: It’s never late if happiness is good. Either way, good news for WhatsApp and iPad users in general.
