In addition, the application is fully optimized for multitasking. It works seamlessly with features like Visual Organizer, Split View and Slide Over, which means you can hold a video call while browsing the Internet or planning a group trip. It is also compatible with accessories such as the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil, ideal for more creative or productive users.

In terms of security, WhatsApp for iPad integrates its industry-leading multi-device technology, ensuring full synchronization with your iPhone, Mac and other devices. All backed by end-to-end encryption, so your messages, calls and files are always protected, no matter where you connect from.
