According to a report by Wabetainfo, WhatsApp has been working to get iPad support for its app for quite some time now. Although the real date when the WhatsApp with iPad support will be rolled out is not known but we might see its launch in the coming weeks. It should be noted that the iPad version of WhatsApp is still in development phase and it is not known when the final version of the app will be completed. But according to the report, the initial testing version of the WhatsApp for iPads will be officially released soon. There were also some screenshots showing what the iPad version of WhatsApp will eventually look like. The screenshots show that the app will offer a split-screen user interface where the user can interact with the app.
Furthermore, WhatsApp for iPad will offer features similar to those on the smartphone version of the application. The reports also suggest that the iPad version of WhatsApp will also get the audio and video call support along with WhatsApp Status and Groups. Using the width and the screen area of the iPad, the user can also use it in the landscape mode and get more out of the application and its features.
