WhatsApp is a fabulous app allowing you to communicate with loved ones, anywhere in the world for free (as long as you have an active internet connection!).
We've had many clients ask whether they can use WhatsApp on their iPads, so that they can message using a larger screen.
WhatsApp is not available on iPads and Tablets, but there is a solution.
WzPad is an app you can download onto your iPad and use Whatsapp!
WzPad mirrors your WhatsApp conversations and messages as they are on your smartphone. It may not work perfectly as it is not the actual WhatsApp application, but it's a great alternative for those looking to use WhatsApp on a larger device.
Download the WzPad app from the app store
1. Tap on the App Store on your iPad
2. Tap on the Search icon, and in the Search field, type in WzPad
3. Results will appear, tap on GET (You may be prompted to enter your Apple ID Password or TouchID)
4. Once WzPad has been downloaded onto your device, open the app.
A QR Code will appear and you will need to use your smartphone to scan the code which appears on screen.
