WhatsApp Web (https://www.whatsapp.com/) works as epxected on Firefox running on Ubuntu Desktop and Safari for macOS. At one point in time, Whatsapp web functioned on the iPad Safari browser.
Attempting to summon it on an iPad doesn’t return the desktop website. Summons are invoked by long tapping the reload button in the address bar and tapping on Request Desktop Site.
What can be done to summon and return the WhatsApp QR code on Safari running on iPad? The goals is to use WhatsApp Web in Safari on iPad.

With the latest edition of iPadOS which will be released on September 30th (source), Safari has been turned into a "desktop-class browser" (Apple) and therefore WhatsApp Web can be used on iPad.
I have tried it on the Safari browser on the current iPadOS beta and WhatsApp Web works like a charm.
