WhatsApp has become one of the most widely used messaging platforms across devices, so if you're looking to use WhatsApp on your iPad, you're definitely not the only one. Although WhatsApp is developing a dedicated iPad app, it’s not yet available. However, there's still an easy way to access WhatsApp on your iPad.

To set up WhatsApp on your iPad, all you need to do is connect your WhatsApp number to the web version running on your iPad. It might sound complex, but in reality, it's quite straightforward.

Follow along with this guide and soon you’ll be using WhatsApp on your iPad without any issues.

How to Access WhatsApp on iPad Right Now

Here’s how you can link your WhatsApp account to your iPad via the web client:

1. Start by grabbing the iPhone (or Android device) that already has WhatsApp set up

2. Open the WhatsApp app and tap the “Settings” tab

3. Navigate to “Linked Devices”

4. Select the ‘Multi-Device Beta’ option and tap to join the beta program (this step is optional but enhances performance and flexibility)

5. Return to the main menu and choose “Link a Device” from the WhatsApp app on your iPhone
   

6. On your iPad, open Safari and go to http://ipnx.cn/link/a41c706749e45f3720d5943351717fa3

7. Use your iPhone's WhatsApp app to scan the QR code displayed on the iPad screen – this will instantly configure WhatsApp on your iPad browser
   

8. Once linked, start using WhatsApp as normal through Safari on your iPad — full messaging and calling features are supported

9. Optionally, bookmark WhatsApp Web in Safari or add it to your Home Screen for easier access

That’s it — simple and effective. You can now use WhatsApp anytime directly from your iPad.

If you opted into the Multi-Device Beta, you’ll notice an improved experience because the WhatsApp web session remains active even when your iPhone isn’t connected — meaning even if your iPhone is off, charging, updating, or in Airplane mode, your iPad will still have full WhatsApp functionality.

This method works for any device that supports a modern web browser, even if there’s no native WhatsApp app available.

It's worth noting that scanning a QR code is also the standard setup process for using WhatsApp on other non-mobile devices like Mac and Windows computers, and it’s expected to be part of the future official WhatsApp iPad app installation as well.

Eventually, a fully optimized WhatsApp app for iPad will be released, although Meta / Facebook / WhatsApp seems to be taking their time delivering it. Until then, this web-based solution works perfectly fine.
