WhatsApp for iPad

WhatsApp relies on a Sim card I believe, so was using your phone number to send and receive messages. Unfortunately the iPad is a tablet, so it doesn't use Sim cards. Plus it doesn't have any carrier or phone number assigned to it, therefore it's not possible.

WhatsApp is used with a Sim card which comes from a carrier, that's how you received your phone number. If it were for iPad, it wouldn't even be possible to use, because iPads don't use phone numbers.

When I posted the other time, it sent an error message. So I must've made two different post. I apologize

Hey there.
While WhatsApp isn't available on the iPad, there is another (more trustworthy) app on the market which should fill that nitch. Also, you can have it on more than one device at a time, even though I haven't figured that part out yet.
That app being signal. It's fully accessible from what I can see, even if a few buttons are mislabeled.
I would honestly strongly encourage people to use Signal over WhatsApp anyway. Given Facebook's recently horrible history with privacy and the stuff that is going on with a possible injunction, I cannot in good conscience recommend using it. Signal, however, is not affiliated with Facebook.

I agree with Gar that Signal is a great alternative toWhatsapp. I have it on both my iPhone and iPad. It is accessible and more secure. Just install it on your iPhone, activate it, then after that install it on the ipad. Once you install on the iPad, it will ask you to scan the qr code on the iPad's screen. you go to the settings on your signal on the iPhone and you choose link devices. you point your camera at the iPad screen and it will scan the code. Keep the phone camera about 10 inches from the Ipad when you screen. Also, if you have a tendency to keep your screen curtain on, make sure to turn it off on the iPad to make the code visible for scanning.
