Update: iOS 8: How To Install WhatsApp On iPad Without Jailbreak
Update: September 18, 2013: WhatsApp on iPad without jailbreak runs on iOS 7.0, too!
WhatsApp on iPad without jailbreak installation is running on iOS 7 beta (2). I have already posted about how to install WhatsApp on an iPad without jailbreaking it. At that time, iOS 6.1.3 was installed on my iPad 4th generation cellular. In the meantime iOS 7 beta was released and both my iPad and my iPhone 4S are now running on iOS 7 beta (2). The beta release is not very stable at the moment, there are often crashes. However, what was more important to me was to answer the question wether the Whatsapp tweak is still possible.
Therefore, I followed the step-by-step Whatsapp workaround, using my iPhone 4S, my iPad 4th generation and iFunBox. And indeed, it is still feasable to get WhatsApp on iPad without jailbreak is running on iOS 7 beta (2):
Stay tuned! 😉

Hey there, folowed your guide a few month a ago and everythings works fine but today App Store has a newer version of whatsapp and it could not be updated anymore.. 🙁 “Its not compatible with iPad”
Hi Timo,
thanks for following!
That’s right that you can’t update WhatsApp on your iPad. You need to update on your iPhone and repeat the installation tweak on your iPad.
Regarding your problem, you should take these steps:
1. Download and install the latest WhatsApp version on your iPhone and login. Wait until everything is synchronized.
2. Delete WhatsApp from your iPad.
3. Repeat the entire process: https://miapple.me/2013/05/09/how-to-install-whatsapp-on-ipad-without-jailbreak/

Good to know that it is still feasable to get Whatsapp running on an iPad without jailbreak on iOS 7 beta (2).
But…. I have Whatsapp running on 6.1.3 (as you had) using your workaround and I’m very happy with it.
So now I like to know: Did Whatsapp still work after the upgrade to IOS 7.0 or did you really have to install it again?
If you are able to update to iOS 7 with WhatsApp installed it will work. However, I think that you cannot upgrade to iOS 7 so far WhatsApp is installed on your iPad. You have to check it on your own….
How can I know that my ipad mini is of which generation ?
And is it possible to use what’sapp on it.
It will work on any iPad mini!
Here’s how to find the model number:
Go to settings, about, model. The model number looks like, e.g., MD524FD/A (iPad 4th gen, WiFi + celllular, 64GB). Search apple.com or Wikipedia for the translation to a model name or install the app Mactracker.
