Given that Facebook owns both messaging platforms, it means that it would essentially steal users from its own user base.

How do you run end-to-end encryption where both chat participants have more than one device?.Is it a good idea to transfer message history to a newly linked device?.Here are a few questions that the WhatsApp team had to consider: The achievement is huge and there’s more that goes into it than it meets the eye. Their new beta update is finally cracking the challenge: Four devices linked to a single phone number, a single account. Maintaining the same level of safety and encryption whilst extending access and creating a seamless experience over multiple devices is the challenge that WhatsApp had to wrestle with for so long. The very reason that WhatsApp is so popular, is the same reason it has somehow lost ground to the competition – safety. Let’s start with the fact that WhatsApp is the poster boy (or in this case, poster app) of end-to-end encryption messaging.

With that in mind, one might wonder why we’re dedicating an article to the news that WhatsApp is now available on iPad. Apple keynote events used to be events people planned for – what’s the new feature going to be? How are they going to make our jaws drop this time? As the novelty of Apple products has worn off, so has the excitement surrounding their releases.
