Whatsapp

WhatsApp users around the world know that one of the service’s biggest limitations is its lack of an iPad application. In a new interview with The Verge today, however, the head of WhatsApp, Will Cathcart, addressed this limitation, saying that the company “would love” to launch an iPad app at some point. While Cathcart didn’t dive into specifics, he did acknowledge that people have long been calling on WhatsApp to make an iPad app: “People have wanted an iPad app for a long time.” Will Cathcart, the head of WhatsApp at its parent company Meta, told The Verge during an interview this week tied to a new US marketing push for the messaging app. “We’d love to do it.” As we’ve covered multiple times at 9to5Mac, WhatsApp has been working on the underlying multi-device support required for an iPad app for a while now. In this week’s interview, Cathcart refers to this work and hints that it was the first step in the process towards bringing WhatsApp to the iPad. “We did a lot of work on the technology for supporting multiple devices,” Cathcart said, referencing the rollout of opt-in, multi-device support for WhatsApp last year. “Our web and our desktop apps now have…

WhatsApp’s chief has a message for those who have been clamoring for a native iPad app: don’t give up hope. “People have wanted an iPad app for a long time.” Will Cathcart, the head of WhatsApp at its parent company Meta, told The Verge during an interview this week tied to a new US marketing push for the messaging app. “We’d love to do it.” Like Instagram for the iPad, a version of WhatsApp for Apple’s tablet has long eluded users despite being a heavily requested feature. And while Cathcart wouldn’t go so far as to commit to the release of an iPad version, his comments suggest it’s possible that one will be built in the near future, especially now that WhatsApp has built the underlying technology needed for such a client to work. “We did a lot of work on the technology for supporting multiple devices,” Cathcart said, referencing the rollout of opt-in, multi-device support for WhatsApp last year. “Our web and our desktop apps now have that. If I have multi-device on, I can turn my phone off or lose my network connection and still get messages on my desktop. That would be really important for a tablet…

Aneeqa Ateeq was arrested in May 2020 and charged with posting “blasphemous material” on WhatsApp. The complaint against Aneeqa was brought forward by a fellow Pakistani man after she spurned his advances.

The man accused her of sending blasphemous caricatures of holy prophets, making remarks about “holy personages” on WhatsApp and using her Facebook account to send blasphemous material to other accounts. In doing so, she “deliberately and intentionally defiles…

When WhatsApp launched its iOS to Android chat transfer tool last year, we figured it wouldn’t be long before you could send those conversations in the other direction. Now that looks to be coming to fruition, with the latest beta versions of the chat app now offering Android to iOS chat migration. The feature had been previewed within a previous version of the Android app beta, but it has now been built upon within the iPhone version for the first time. The feature will require the cooperation of the Move to iOS Android app, Apple users to onboard Android users, while the new beta also shows a screen where WhatsApp will ask the user for permission before commencing the transfer. However, even those on the beta won’t be able to use the feature just yet. “Unfortunately, this feature is not available right now, and supported operating systems are unknown. We don’t have details about the release of the feature, but we’re following the development and we will inform you when there is news,” the report says. Currently the feature on Android is available to Samsung Galaxy phones and Pixel devices, while the iOS to Android feature is scheduled to arrive…
