WhatsApp Web is not another WhatsApp account. At this time, WhatsApp Web is available only for Android, iPhone and iPad with iOS 8.1 and higher, Windows Phone 8.0 and 8.1, Nokia S60, Nokia S40 EVO, BlackBerry and BlackBerry 10 smartphones. Any action you take on the phone will apply to WhatsApp Web and vice versa. The messages you send and receive are fully synced between your phone and your computer, and you can see all messages on both devices. WhatsApp Web is a computer based extension of the WhatsApp account on your phone. Furthermore, WhatsApp versions higher than 2.11.8 have never worked on iOS 8 due to root and folder limitations of a non-jailbreaked iPad. Hence, you could not install WhatsApp 2.11.8 on your iPad, iPad air or iPod touch anymore.

But then, WhatsApp 2.11.8 apparently expired, meaning the app certificate was not valid anymore. In the past, WhatsApp on iPad without jailbreak was working on iOS 7 and iOS 8 up to version 2.11.8. WhatApp Web is working without jailbreak on iOS 8, iOS 9, iOS 10, Mac OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite, Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan and macOS 10.12 Sierra.
