How to install WhatsApp on iPad without jailbreak

Many WhatsApp users around the world are going crazy because the company has yet to release the iPad app. For years, the WhatsApp app has topped the App Store rankings, as one of the most popular chat apps worldwide.

For one reason or another, WhatsApp and its parent company, Facebook, will prefer users who stick with iPhones. But don't despair, because there is a way to use WhatsApp on iPad without hacking, jailbreaking or modifying the iPad. And even better, this process only takes a few minutes.

WhatsApp Web

1. The first step is to open the Safari browser. Too simple, right? Don't worry, the following steps are not difficult at all.

2. Now, enter web.whatsapp.com in Safari search bar and click Go. You will immediately notice that you will not be on the dedicated web portal. Instead, you will visit the company's homepage. That's fine, because you will reload the page in 'Desktop' mode .

7. Everything is done. Now you can chat using the full functionality of the WhatsApp desktop platform right on your iPad.

Limit

Now, before you move on to creating shortcuts, there are a few limitations of the iPad app. The first is that the voice notes feature does not work, because Safari on iPad is not officially supported. You will be able to listen to voice notes, but this is not a two-way system.

The second drawback is the lack of notice. The WhatsApp platform does not support notifications about incoming messages on the iOS web browser. In other words, if you want to be notified of an incoming message, you will have to leave the browser open. However, it was a small price to pay until the company released an iPad-specific app.

WhatsApp ShortCut

Now that you've set up with a web browser, it's time to create a shortcut so you can quickly return to the web application. Like the application itself, creating a shortcut only takes a few seconds.

1. First, click the Share icon in Safari to display the menu. That button looks like a square with an arrow pointing to the north.

3. Here, you can rename the app to something other than WhatsApp, but to make things easy, just click the Add button at the top right of the Share menu .

4. The shortcut icon will appear immediately on the Home screen in the first available space. Clicking once will open it like any other application and bring you right back to the desktop application via Safari. It may take a second or two to reload each time, depending on the connection speed, but it will automatically sync any messages that you have recently sent on your smartphone or laptop.
