whatsapp web on ipad can't be opened

Hi. I really need your help.

Im using ipad 9 2021 and it has ios 15.7 version now.

Apparently, I can't open whatsapp web on my safari.

It is written "WhatsApp works with Safari 11+, to use WhatsApp, update Safari or use Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Opera"

I attach a photo of the screen.

Please tell me what to do ASAP, I really need this for college assignments.

Thanks for helping!

I was able to solve this problem by turning off the “Request Desktop Website” for all websites in Safari setting in Settings app. Once I turned off this setting, everything started working as it used to before I updated my iPad to iOS 15.7. Firefox worked too, but I didn’t want yet another web browser app on my iPad. I am comfortable with Safari.

Hi all,


I was able to solve this by turning off the “Request Desktop Website” on the WhatsApp tab. Just head to the address bar, click on the “aA” button on the left, then click on “Website Settings”.


From there, turn off “Request Dekstop Website”. Refresh and, voila, now it’s working flawlessly again! 😊
