WABetaInfo also stated on Twitter the WhatsApp Desktop 0.2.6968 app references for an iPad application.

However, the WhatsApp tracking website did not reveal whether the company was planning for a standalone application or will it be just a client application like the WhatsApp Web.

The instant messaging app also confirmed group voice calls in its latest beta version of Android in October.
