How do I delete apps from my iPad but keep them on my iPhone?

I want to delete Whatsapp from my iPad, but keep it on my iPhone. Is this possible because I know that

any app you download on one device appears on all devices linked to your account?

iPhone 11, iOS 14

one can set it up in


settings->app store->[automatic downloads]

so it downloads an app downloaded on 1 ios device so it will automaticlly be downloaded on all ios devices which use the same appleID


but the same thing does not mean a deleted app will be deleted on other ios device


also whatsapp by facebook only exist on iphone it does not on ipad

so if you have an whatsapp on your ipad it's not one made by facebook but just a third party

app which encapsulate their webclient and present it as an app
