Whatsapp for iPad or iPod Touch Features
Whatsapp messenger offers a myriad of features for it’s users. It’s design, usability and functionality are top-notch. I’m sure you are already aware of it’s features and functionality. Nevertheless, I am writing this section dedicated to first time users of Whatsapp for iPad or iPod Touch.Whatsapp messenger allows you to send free text, image and video messages to your friends and loved ones. No limits barred. It is completely free and unrestricted for the first year. However, you need to pay 1$ to renew your subscription and continue using it’s services for the next year.
Whatsapp for iPad and iPod touch also allows you to create group chat, send voice messages and thousands of emoticons, update profile picture and status, send current location, e.t.c. It displays when your friend is last seen online. However, this feature can be disabled through Privacy Settings.
My favorite feature of Whatsapp is, you need not add contacts separately. Your phonebook contacts will be synchronized automatically. If you want to add a contact, just add their number to your phonebook. That’s all. Let me know if you face any issues while installing Whatsapp for iPad or iPod touch.
