I have noticed using different applications that, even when you remove the iPad compatibility from xcode (see picture below)
the app will still show that is compatible with iPad in the iTunes app page (see picture below):
Therefore, I am wondering, how did Whatsapp removed the iPad compatibility from it's app? (see image below):
Thank you

You can use WhatsApp on your iPad, even though the messaging platform doesn't have an app for the device. To use WhatsApp on your iPad, you'll have to go to the web browser version and scan a QR code on your iPhone to connect WhatsApp on both devices.
While the iPad app has yet to to launch, it is already possible to use WhatsApp on an iPad via the web without the iPhone associated with your account having to be connected to the internet. Keep reading to learn how it works.
You can use WhatsApp on up to four companion devices at one time, but can only have one phone connected to your WhatsApp account at one time. You'll still need to register your WhatsApp account and link new devices with your phone.
Because WhatsApp does not work without telephony (the app requires the phone number) they did use telephony as UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities value in their info-plist. This limits the app to devices that are designated as telephones. Which currently covers only iPhones, so the app won't work on iPads and iPods.
Generally you can't do that, Apple does not allow to arbitrary set UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities. If your app really requires telephony support you can of course use the key.
