WhatsApp iPad is most likely to happen now that the platform has already rolled out companion mode for iPhone. So now users can use the same WhatsApp account on iPhone, Android phone, Android tablet, and soon on iPad.
WhatsApp has also quietly released a Wear OS beta app for the Pixel watch and other Android smartwatches. So we can also be optimistic regarding WhatsApp coming to the Apple Watch as well. Moreover, the platform is actively adding new features like channels and chat lock on WhatsApp.
