And they should do it in a way where having a phone is no longer a requirement to use the app. Multi-device support is something WhatsApp should take seriously, and roll out to every possible platform that can run and use the messaging app. The iPhone app could also just be modified to now be available on the iPad. The App on the Mac works, and both devices run on the same architecture, so a little tweaks and the app will run on the iPad quite well. It won’t even be hard for the company to launch an iPad App if they wanted to right now. Why WhatsApp won’t want to have iPad users accessing their app easily makes no sense!

The way Apple has made them to be unique in features, and support makes them very good for different types of use cases. IPads sit at a place where they just aren’t tablets, but full on computing devices. For the longest time there has been no iPad app and it completely makes no sense now that there’s multiple device support. What I think the company needs to really work on right now is an iPad App. I guess they’ll solve all these hiccups in time. It’s a long process, but it works anyways, I won’t complain right now. No, you need to first sign in to WhatsApp on your phone, then scan a code to activate the Mac and Windows Apps. And you can’t just sign in to the Windows and Mac apps as you would with other messaging apps. Right now there’s the iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows apps only. WhatsApp is coming in way later than everyone, and they’re still not doing everything correctly. The feature is something many other messaging apps including Telegram already have. I’ve loved using it, and I wish they roll it out to everyone soon. The multi-device support feature however is still in beta testing, and it has its challenges here and there. WhatsApp finally started supporting multiple devices at one time without needing your phone to always stay connected.
