Tap Load Desktop Site and wait for the page to refresh – you should now see the WhatsApp Web interface. This is done by tapping and holding the refresh button to the right of the site URL until you see a button appear. If you’re running iOS 12 or earlier, you’ll need to get WhatsApp Web to display the desktop interface – the site will redirect you to the WhatsApp home page by default.If you’re running iOS 13, skip ahead to step 3. That means you’ll have to connect your WhatsApp-enabled iPhone to your iPad via Safari – it might sound complicated, but it’s a straightforward process that’ll take no longer than 30 seconds, and it’ll work if Hopefully this latest news shows that we will soon get what we both want and need.Rumoured to be working on multi-device support for the popular messaging service, the only way you can use WhatsApp on an iPad right now is via WhatsApp Web. As much as we want this new functionality, we need it deployed without risking our data security and privacy. Other messengers-including, of course, WhatsApp’s stablemate Facebook Messenger, have nailed multiple device access, but without the security we trust WhatsApp to provide. Much in the same way as you can tell when a contact has new device or WhatsApp install.Īnd, ultimately, that’s the most critical thing here. If, for example, any of the linked devices of one of your contacts changes or if they link a new device, then you will be notified.
That is likely a step too far, without full control over the cloud and device software, as is the case with Apple’s iMessage and iCloud syncing.įrom what we know so far, it’s clear that WhatsApp’s considerable time spent in perfecting its approach to multiple device linking has encryption at its heart. This could provide the basis for a secure restore or even a secure live sync capability-although an ongoing sync would require that backup to be decrypted and accessed while at rest in the cloud, without compromising security. This backup update will essentially offload a secure, central repository of your message history and media to an offline cloud service.
