    Question How do you install WhatsAp on Ipad 3 (The new Ipad)

    Hi,

    Recently got the iPad 4G + WiFi and discovered I could not install WhatsAp on the device. Has anyone worked out how to do this without jailbreaking the iPhone or the iPad?

    If such a guide exists, please point me in the right direction.

    Thanks

    You don't officially sadly...
    Haven't tried this myself http://www.redmondpie.com/whatsapp-f...ow-to-install/

    Note: requires a JB (something I personally no longer see any value from)

    Yet another failing of Whatsapp.

    Some security issues with Whatsapp: http://blog.gdatasoftware.com/blog/a...ns-public.html
    Due to the fact that the WhatsApp data stream is not encrypted, all messages, pictures, locations etc. sent over WiFi can be intercepted. Data sniffing in WiFi networks is not a new threat, we have been warning about it for a long time. But with the newly released app, it becomes highly convenient for folks who really want to intercept WhatsApp data: They don’t need a laptop or computer within the WiFi network anymore; they only need a rooted Android device.
    The only possibility to avoid all WhatsApp traffic being easily sniffed is to ensure that all communication partners use their carrier’s mobile communications network. As soon as one of the participants is using WhatsApp in a WiFi network, the whole conversation can be compromised and/or altered.
    Please note: Data sniffing is also possible in GSM networks, but this is much more difficult (needs different hardware not easily accessible) and therefore it is less likely to happen.
    You should be ok if you use it on your own wifi network, and you're sure no one unwanted have access to it. I wouldn't trust any public wifi networks.
