I wanted to report whatsapp for all iPad models.

There’s another way to have truly independent WhatsApp on OnLy iPad. No phone needed. Get a google voice number. It’s free. Hangouts is available for iPad. Confirmation text message goes to hangouts. Enter it in. Boom! You’re in business.

But you cannot create a new whatsapp account from whatsapp web. You can only create new accounts from the mobile app, which can only be installed on phone devices.
If one wants a tablet with whatsapp, most Android tablets with cellular include the phone capability, so they are compatible with the Whatsapp app.

People should just move to Telegram. Whatsapp's only plus point is due to it's first mover / ubiquity status, and at this point even Facebook Messenger has better ubiquity w/cross-platform support, although it comes loaded with a lot of other nonsense as well.

In the states text messages are free and the iOS user base is HUGe. Not so much in Asia. I travel here 6 months of the year and everybody I mean EVERYBODY uses WhatsApp. I casually asked my bud back home a year ago to just WhatsApp me and got a blank look.

Moving to telegram means making others move with you. Tough. Not sure how that works is it through email or phone number or something else? I’ll give my regular driver my work phone number so he can WhatsApp me but I don’t necessarily want him having my email.

Messenger is great in your friend circle. I use it quite a bit to check in with people I already know. Again, I’m not giving the pizza delivery guy any personal info beyond my number.

WhatsApp out here is THE defacto text messaging application on everyone’s smartphone. I’ll look into telegram or there’s viper or something right? For a closer group of friends or when I feel like disconnecting from the world but pretty sure I’ll be staying on WhatsApp because it’s so ingrained in people heads with the first mover advantage.

Then again BBM was insanely popular here (still is in Dubai) and we all know how THAT turned out too

You can do it via username, e.g. http://telegram.me/username which is nice - you don't reveal any private information.

I know I can google this but my new rule is even online to engage in conversations with real people. We’ve become too isolated as a society.

Any advantages over WhatsApp? I mean why bother if it just replicates it? I’m already having a problem managing communication. Email, Twitter, fb messenger, WhatsApp, sms, hangouts and Skype.

Right now I have them segregated in neat categories. Why add one more ?
[doublepost=1516304902][/doublepost]What o really want is to delete WhatsApp from my phone and give out a private username to just those people who I want. For now anyone I call can add me on WhatsApp so I usually carry two mobiles. Public and private. That’s getting old though. Just not sure I can totally make the cut from WhatsApp. It’s simply too ubiquitous in India and here’s where I work half of the year.

To me the primary advantages are cross-platform availability (Telegram has native apps on pretty much any platform, not just mobile phones) as well as support for bots. Frankly as a messenger Telegram just feels that much more advanced in available features. If your primary concern is just normal texting / sending images exclusively on your smartphone then there's no real difference for sure.

Sounds cool though. In a way it’s an iMessage that works with android and windows as well. I’ll check it out. Thanks.

This is why iMessage is so awesome and luckily there’s only one person who I text on WhatsApp the rest is iMessage. There are apps for WhatsApp for iPad but don’t give you notifications which kind of goes against the point of using it

However notifications work great with WhatsApp on the MacBook Pro.

I didn’t even bother installing WhatsApp on anything besides my phone. All my files and photos are on the cloud, I can send from the mobile. And anyway, most of my file exchange is for professional reasons and I prefer to use “old fashioned” email for that. Keeps the threads together. Searchable etc. iMessage WhatsApp FB is just for fun and quick convos.
