Hello MacRumours community,
It’s been over a year since WhatsApp released its beta for an iPad-native app, yet we’re still without a proper release. Meta continues to assure us it’s “in the pipeline,” but the wait goes on. For professionals and everyday users alike, this isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a barrier to productivity and efficient communication.
I’ve reached my limit and am kicking off a 365-day campaign, using my humble position as a devoted user of both platforms. Starting today, I will email WhatsApp and Apple support daily for the next year, urging them to expedite the release. It’s a small gesture, but it’s the least I can do to push for a tool that’s crucial for managing both my businesses and personal life. I know you are going to say, use Slack or Discord, but the majority of my users and customers are WhatsApp users. I just simply do not understand why Meta or Apple are denying a native connection to the community.
There’s no clear technical obstacle here. It seems to be a case of Apple or Meta withholding a better user experience for reasons unknown to us. If you share this frustration, I encourage you to join me. Let’s make our voices heard and not just wait passively.
If you’re on board, please consider sending your own daily emails to the support teams at Apple and WhatsApp. Here are the contacts:
• WhatsApp Support: support@whatsapp.com
• Apple Support: contactus@apple.com
Your support could make all the difference. Perhaps together, we can end this unnecessary delay.
Let’s discuss. If you have insights, frustrations, or additional contacts to suggest, I’m all ears. Please as a community let’s get these Goliath's to press a button and connect the platforms, in the spirit of connectivity and community.
Cheers,
