WhatsApp, which recently launched an app for Mac users, is now reportedly exploring a separate version for Apple's iPad users. According to WABetaInfo, the trial version is available for installation via the TestFlight app, which is accessible to beta testers who already utilise the beta software on their mobile devices.

The TestFlight app for WhatsApp now supports the new iPad as of version 23.19.1.71. Users must have WhatsApp loaded on both their iPhone and iPad on the beta iOS version in order to set it up on the tablet.
