## What is MultiTask Messenger?

** The Best iPad Messenger for WhatsApp is here! **

Be more productive on your iPad! Now you can WhatsApp your friends without leaving the current screen!

Supporting the latest MultiTasking features since iOS 9.3+, have your WhatsApp conversations appear as a Slide Over or Split View. When the screen is too small, Scroll Assist buttons appear automatically to help.

New Message Notifications are available too! You have the option to turn it off when needed, to conserve battery life.

If you have been using WhatsApp Web on mobile Safari, you will notice scrolling through your chats is much smoother on this app. What's more, you can tap once to view your messages, and tap again to start chatting! 

With all these improvements, you will have a better experience using WhatsApp on your iPad. Stay tuned for more improvements to come!

Usage is as simple as the original Whatsapp Web - simply link up your phone account with the QR code presented on the screen. Open WhatsApp on your phone - go to Settings - WhatsApp Web then scan the QR code, and you're done!
