Fans have long asked for a dedicated WhatsApp app for iPads.

And it looks like their prayers may finally be answered.

It’ll work just like the Desktop mode, as in it’s a companion app for your main smartphone account.

So you’ll have to link a device by scanning a QR code.

You can even use WhatsApp on your iPad independently, without having your phone online.

Fortunately, messages sync from your iPad to your phone whether it’s an iPhone or an Android handset.

The move comes after WhatsApp recently launched an app for Mac users as well.
