WhatsApp is soon expected to improve the capabilities of its multi-device support functionality with the launch of Multi-Device 2.0. This upgrade will bring in good news for many as it might finally bring the WhatsApp app to iPad. Since WhatsApp’s head has already shown interest in this idea, we can expect this to become reality pretty soon. Here are the details.
WhatsApp information tracker WABetaInfo has revealed that the Meta-owned messaging platform is planning to introduce Multi-Device 2.0 support, which will allow users to link a secondary smartphone or a tablet (both Android and an iPad) to one WhatsApp account.
Currently, WhatsApp’s multi-device feature supports linking of up to four devices but that is restricted to its web version. This gives us an inkling that a WhatsApp app for iPad is just around the corner. To recall, the expansion of the Multi-Device feature’s capabilities was rumored previously too. A Companion mode is expected to launch soon, which will enable linking two mobile devices to one WhatsApp number.
This also raises the possibility of an Instagram app for iPad, which again, has been rumored multiple times and is the most-awaited right now. It remains to be seen what really happens.
