WhatsApp. The application managed by the Facebook company has a very important announcement today, which shows their clear intention to offer users exactly what they want from the platform. More precisely, a tablet version of the WhatsApp application is currently in full development, for now only for the Android operating system, it will allow native use on these types of devices.
WhatsApp. The testing process is a complex one, but the American company simplifies things a little by including the beta version of the application in the Google Play Store, so that it is easier to download on tablets with the Android operating system. The launch of WhatsApp on tablets has been requested for years and years by platform users, but until now there has not been much interest in offering the application for these types of devices.
WhatsApp. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT Expected by Users
WhatsApp. The American company's intentions have changed, however, probably due to the fact that it needs new users to continue its growth, so now it is turning to tablets. Practically, in the Android version of the WhatsApp application, users will be able to use the web interface in a native application, theoretically having a better experience than in the case of using the website, but everything also depends on how the interaction is intended .
Good news: you can now install WhatsApp on your Android tablet directly from the Play Store (ONLY IF YOU'RE A BETA TESTER - 2.18.367)!
It wasn't possible in the past and it was necessary to download the APK separately.- WABetaInfo (@WABetaInfo) November 30, 2018
WhatsApp. Launching a version only for tablets with the Android operating system is a natural and simple choice for the company, because in the Google platform things can be developed more easily in terms of testing with regular users. In this idea, it is very possible that WhatsApp will not release an iPad version of its application too soon, unless it finds a method to make it good enough to offer a different experience than the web version.
