In 2024/2025 can WhatsApp be installed on an iPad with WiFi + Cellular?

I found this article dated SEP 272024.

Here's an excerpt but I haven’t tried to do it yet:

https://www.macworld.com/article/668638/how-to-get-whatsapp-on-ipad.html


Has anyone successfully done it? Does anyone have any tips?



"While there is not a WhatsApp app for iPad yetthere are ways to get your WhatsApp on your iPad.

Follow these steps to get WhatsApp on an iPad:

  1. Open Safari on your iPad and head to web.whatsapp.com
  2. Open WhatsApp on your iPhone. 
  3. In Whatsapp tap on Settings.
  4. Tap on Linked Devices. 
  5. Tap Link a Device. 
  6. Use your iPhone to scan the QR code and pair with your iPhone. 
  7. A web page should now load and display all your recent WhatsApp messagesalong with any media or voice notes. 

Be aware that there are a few limitations when using WhatsApp this way. Most importantlyunlike when the service is used on a Mac or PCnotifications from web browsers aren’t supported on iOS/iPadOS. You won’t be notified of new messages.

Apart from that and a few small bugshoweverthe service is pretty easy to use and a great alternative for WhatsApp users keen to access the service on iPad.

WhatsApp Web is a free and easy way to access the WhatsApp service on your iPad. Although you won’t get notifications (as you would when using the service on Mac or PC)it’s a great way to easily access your messages on a tablet."

WhatsApp still has not released an iPad app. You would need to contact them for an update.


You should still be able to access WhatsApp on the web version and link your iPhone. The fact that the iPad is a cellular version should not make any difference. The billing number is not a factor. As the article statesthis is the steps that should work.

  1. Open Safari on your iPad and head to web.whatsapp.com
  2. Open WhatsApp on your iPhone. 
  3. In Whatsapp tap on Settings.
  4. Tap on Linked Devices. 
  5. Tap Link a Device. 
  6. Use your iPhone to scan the QR code and pair with your iPhone. 
  7. A web page should now load and display all your recent WhatsApp messagesalong with any media or voice notes.

On my other devices(iPhoneMac MiniMacbook Pro) my iPhone number merges with my other devices. With thatthe cross-communication between devices all use the same phone number with all my contacts. This would not occur with the iPad WiFi+Cellular since the number is nonworking and has only the billing communication with the ISP/cellular data company. I am imagining that the nonworking number would need to merge with a phone that has “contacts”.
