It’s unlikely a technical reason, it’s likely just Meta deciding that a full tablet app isn’t likely to be popular enough to justify building one.

If you’re asking why you can’t just use the iphone version: because apple only allows apps created specifically for the ipad to be launched there. There isn’t any other limitation, Meta just didn’t create an app for ipads.

WhatsApp’s model is based on your phone number/sim card being your account and most iPads don’t have those.

I was hoping for a line-by-line explanation of the source code that prevents the app from being installed.
