You need a phone set up with a WhatsApp account to do this. The page will display a QR code that you will need to capture with your phone in order to continue. Since your iPad is not just a large iPhone, you will not be able to make calls and will only have access to the web version of WhatsApp, even if your iPad has a SIM card.
After you navigate here, your camera will open so it can scan the QR code on your iPad.
Once the scan is successful, you’ll see a screen displaying that you’ve connected to another device. You’ll be able to respond to WhatsApp messages on your iPad. To log out of WhatsApp on your iPad, use your phone and go back to Web/Desktop and tap Log out from all devices. [2] X Research source
