WhatsApp has also developed an iPad app, that will be released after the activation of the feature, so you will be able to use WhatsApp on your iPhone and your iPad at the same time. Note that any message will be delivered to all your family devices, so your chat history will be always synced across platforms. When WhatsApp has safely copied the chat history to the second device, it will be finally possible to use your account from it. In this case WhatsApp always requires a Wi-Fi connection, because it may use a large amount of your data plan When the user wants to use WhatsApp on a second device, there is the need to copy the chat history.

Actually they are testing the feature in order to work with 4 devices at the same time. WhatsApp is working on the possibility to use the same account on different devices. There is a one-time sync process, and then all future messages will be sent to all your devices, just like Apple’s iMessage service. It’s that necessity for relaying via the web or the phone which the company is apparently now addressing, according to a new report from WABetaInfo. There’s no official WhatsApp app at all, requiring us to use third-party ones which perform the same relaying trick via a web-based API (I use Messaging for WhatsApp on iPad).Īnd the iPhone app can only relay to one device at a time, so you can’t use it on your iPad and Mac at the same time. All messages, incoming and outgoing, are relayed through your iPhone. The app can’t be used on its own, requiring a wireless connection to your phone. It is currently possible to use WhatsApp for Mac, but it’s not ideal. We explained last time the rather messy situation with Mac and iPad apps … It’s more than a year since we first heard that an officia l WhatsApp iPad app was in the works – along with a Mac one also – but it has so far come to nothing.
