In 2024/2025 can WhatsApp be installed on an iPad with WiFi + Cellular?
I found this article dated SEP 27, 2024.
Here's an excerpt but I haven’t tried to do it yet:

Has anyone successfully done it? Does anyone have any tips?
"While there is not a WhatsApp app for iPad yet, there are ways to get your WhatsApp on your iPad.
Follow these steps to get WhatsApp on an iPad:
- Open Safari on your iPad and head to web.whatsapp.com.
- Open WhatsApp on your iPhone.
- In Whatsapp tap on Settings.
- Tap on Linked Devices.
- Tap Link a Device.
- Use your iPhone to scan the QR code and pair with your iPhone.
- A web page should now load and display all your recent WhatsApp messages, along with any media or voice notes.
Be aware that there are a few limitations when using WhatsApp this way. Most importantly, unlike when the service is used on a Mac or PC, notifications from web browsers aren’t supported on iOS/iPadOS. You won’t be notified of new messages.
Apart from that and a few small bugs, however, the service is pretty easy to use and a great alternative for WhatsApp users keen to access the service on iPad.
WhatsApp Web is a free and easy way to access the WhatsApp service on your iPad. Although you won’t get notifications (as you would when using the service on Mac or PC), it’s a great way to easily access your messages on a tablet."
