His comment confirms that in near future there might be a version of WhatsApp for iPad.
Cathcart stated, We did a lot of work on the technology for supporting multiple devices.
Here he referenced the rollout of opt-in, multi-rig support for WhatsApp last year.
He further added, Our web and our desktop apps now have that.
So the underlying technology is there.
That said, your phone still needs to be connected to the internet for these devices to function properly.
The primary reason behind the unavailability of Whatsapp on iPad is the way WhatsApp encrypts messages.
Its the reason why Whatsapp hasnt been able to sync chats across devices on the internet.
