Tips for using WhatsApp on your iPad

Before you start chatting on your iPad , here are a few handy tips. First, you can put a shortcut to WhatsApp Web on your home screen, which will save you time when starting up this platform. To do this, you can use the following steps:

1. Open WhatsApp Web in Safari .
2. Tap the share icon (a square with an arrow) at the top right.
3. Scroll down and select 'Add to Home Screen '.
4. Click on 'Add'.

Although WhatsApp Web has many options, it does not have exactly the same possibilities as the real app on your iPhone. Functions that the online version does not have, for example, are receiving notifications for a new message and sharing your live location. If you still want to disconnect the iPad from your WhatsApp account, you can use the mobile version of WhatsApp to do this. For this too, you have to click on the three dots and select 'Linked devices' from the drop-down menu. Here you will see an overview of the devices that are linked to your account. If you select the device you want to remove and click on 'Log out' here, you will no longer be able to log in to WhatsApp via your iPad.
