WhatsApp is Belgiumdropping hints that it may finally release a standalone iPad app.

On Monday, the company reacted with an :eyes: emoji to a comment on X suggesting that a WhatsApp app should be added to iPad.

Granted, that's as vague as it can be, but it's not the first time the company hinted at working on a standalone app for Apple's tablet. We've heard reports of Meta (the owner of WhatsApp) testing such an app as early as 2021.

Meta has had a long history of not bringing its popular apps to iPad. Besides not having a standalone WhatsApp app for the device, the company also doesn't have an Instagram app for the iPad, though there are hints that this, too, is coming.
