WhatsApp – a very popular cross-platform instant messaging tool – is available on the iPhone and iPod touch but, sadly, isn’t available for the iPad.

Developed by an iOS developer who goes by the name of Lee, WhatsPad removes the “artificial” restriction that WhatsApp has which doesn’t allow it to be used on iPads.

From the app’s page on Cydia:
Enables WhatsApp to run on iPad and iPad 2, this works on both Wifi and Wifi+3G models. There are no settings or icons for this tweak, simply purchase and install WhatsApp.

How To Install WhatsApp On Your iPad

You will, of course, need a jailbroken iPad for this to work. Apple and developers of WhatsApp haven’t approved the tweak yet so jailbreaking is an absolute must:

Note: Since WhatsApp is an iPhone-only app, therefore in most cases, you wont be able to download it on the iPad directly from the App Store. Before you do anything, you need to follow the steps given below exactly as written to install WhatsApp on your iPad.

Step 1: Download and install the iPhone Configuration Utility from the links given below.
iPhone Configuration Utility for Windows

iPhone Configuration Utility for Mac

Step 2: Connect your iPad with your Mac or PC.

Step 3: Download WhatsApp for iPhone on your PC or Mac using iTunes.

Step 4: Now launch the iPhone Configuration Utility. On the left hand side, you will see your connected iPad; click on it.

Step 5: Click on Applications from the tabs you see at the top of your screen.

Step 6: Click on Add at the top left and browse for the WhatsApp IPA file you download in Step 3. It can be found under the iTunes Media > Mobile Applications folder.

Step 7: Scroll down and click on Install. WhatsApp will appear on your iPad’s Springboard.

Step 8: On your iPad, open up Cydia and install WhatsPad tweak from the BigBoss repository.

Once the WhatsPad tweak has been installed, you may launch the WhatsApp app from your homescreen and it will work the way it works on your iPhone. Also keep in mind that WhatsApp will ask you to enter a 3-digit PIN for activation which you’ll receive in a text message, therefore be sure to activate WhatsApp using your active phone number on which you can receive text messages in order to get the PIN.W

Yes.. NO JB discussion until further notice! Don't discuss any JB here, rather a tweak for already jailbroken device..

I don't think you can do that. As Whatsapp server will said the phone number is already being activated.

Yes you can but it overwrite the 1st device and Whatsapp only enable on the latest activated device.
