This is extraordinary. Most of my communicants use Whatsapp. I haven't asked them if they use ipad, but I think some/lots of them use iphone. Does iphone support whatsapp? Certainly my android tablet has whatsapp. Being peremptorily told by apple forums to 'google whatsapp' diminishes my confidence in ios. This is the first ios device I've had. I'm getting the vibe that I'm too stupid to use ipad.

Without knowing any technical details, my opinion is that WhatsApp missing on the iPad is just an Apple decision for now. As the MacBook Pro cannot handle SMS either... Too bad.. really looking forward to have in on my iPad Pro.

My android tablet doesn't have SMS but it has a Whatsapp app. I prefer an app, because using a browser seems to cause probs when I switch back & forth between devices, but hey-ho, I guess there's company politics involved between Apple and Meta.

I currently have a Samsung S5 phone but find it bulky to carry and as I use it mainly for old fashioned calls I was thinking of moving my simcard (and therefore phone number) to my old Motorola Razr. I understand that the S5 will effectively become like a small tablet and the email will still work on the S5 but will whatsapp if I am using the number on another phone?
Will my whatsapp contacts notice any difference or will it work exactly as it currently does?Thanks

I think I am in a good position to answer this question. You can always use a WhatsApp account with a no which isn't available in the device. I have been doing this for years. But please make sure that you setup a security code feature after successful completion of WhatsApp setup in the desired phone, which will secure you from being hijacked if the no(WhatsApp) lost!

Yes, you can, I have done it my times. Even the number is no more active, you still can use it for your WA. Like my WA's number right now, the number itself already deactivated by the operator since around 2 years ago. But I still use the number for my WA.

Be aware that, when you insert your Sim card in another phone (Moto Razr here), if it has WhatsApp installed, the phone may prompt about "updating the account" (or the like) in a cryptic way, and not explicitly stating that it refers to WhatsApp (this depends on versions of OS and WA).If you answer "yes" (assuming it relates to the phone/line, not WA), the number will be used for WA in the Moto Razr, and it will be automatically removed from the S5.You will need to associate again the number with WA installed in the S5.It may be a problem if you do not have your Sim card at hand, as it happened to me before.

Be aware that, if you insert a new Sim card in the S5, WhatsApp may prompt for changing the number associated with the WA account (this depends on versions of OS and WA).You have to decide what you want to do.

The latest Android versions allow for having two WhatsApp accounts in a single phone (likewise for Viber, Telegram, etc.), with Dual Messenger.This required before the use of Parallel Space or the like.So for the case above, if you configure it properly, you may keep you old WA account in the S5, and also have your new number associated with WA in your S5.I have exactly this.

Back in 2009, WhatsApp was born. It immediately became a mainstream favorite for making video calls, sending messages, and initiating video chats for free. Now, it enjoys more than two billion active users worldwide.

WhatsApp requires a phone number to activate your account, however, most tablets don't have a SIM card slot, thus WhatsApp is not provided in the app store on the tablets. But it doesn't mean you can't install WhatsApp for a tablet.

It was in 2015 when WhatsApp creators introduced WhatsApp Web. It is the desktop version of WhatsApp Messenger, which first served Windows, Blackberry, and Android phones. Later, it became available for Nokia and iOS as well as laptops and computers.

WhatsApp web version works as an extension of the app on your phone. It syncs all messages, conversations, and contacts between the web and smartphone. So, you log in to the WhatsApp web on your tablet to use WhatsApp simultaneously on both your phone and the tablet.

If managing two devices is out of your favor, we suppose the WhatsApp APK is a fast alternative. It allows you to run the app independently on the tablet within minutes after downloading and installing it.

APK is the short name for Android Package Kit. It contains Google Android apps already stored in a compressed folder which you can download quickly outside of the app store. The same way you use .dmg or .exe files for installing software on PC or Mac.

Step 1: Head over to Settings on your tablet. Then, go to the Security option and select Unknown Sources. Activating the Unknown Sources means allowing installations apart from Google Play on your tablet.

Step 4: Remember that you will provide a working mobile number and details of your location to log in to WhatsApp. Expect to receive a code through SMS on a working phone. Input the code in your tablet.

The last method we have is the Tablet Messenger. It is a well-established multi-messenger app primarily designed for Android tablets. Moreover, it supports some popular internet-based messaging services, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WeChat, and WhatsApp.

So, as you see, installing WhatsApp on your favorite tablet is highly possible, minus the tricky process. Sharing your mobile number is not essentially required at all. You can even download the application installation file using your laptop or PC and later transport it to your tablet.

WhatsApp Web makes a better option if you want full access both on your tablet and mobile phone. Third-party apps, on the other hand, allow you to sideload the app without relying on an active sim card.
