What is the new update of WhatsApp?

WhatsApp has started rolling out a new update for iPad users. According to a report shared by WABetaInfo, this feature will be available on the latest version of iPadOS 26.25.74. Until now, iPad only worked in ‘companion mode’ while using WhatsApp. That means you had to link the phone and use WhatsApp on the iPad. But now after the new update is rolled out, users can make their iPad the primary device to use WhatsApp. That means you can use WhatsApp directly on iPad without iPhone or Android.

What were the problems with companion mode?

Companion mode had several limitations. As such, users could not share their live location from iPad with anyone. Besides, there was difficulty in creating or viewing broadcast lists. The biggest problem is when using WhatsApp on iPad if you don’t open WhatsApp on your main phone for 14 days. WhatsApp was automatically logged out from the iPad. But that will not happen now. Because now users will be able to set iPad as primary device. This will avoid having to deal with the limitations of companion mode. Live location can be shared from iPad. Broadcast lists can also be used to communicate with business accounts.

How to turn on primary WhatsApp in iPad?

The process of setting up the new WhatsApp update in iPad is very simple. The process is very similar to using WhatsApp on a phone.

• First of all open WhatsApp on your iPad.
• Now enter country code and mobile number.
• Now enter the 6 digit verification code received on your number.
• If you have set a passkey, you can also login without a code.
