Will £100 get you an iPad
No, but I assume you mean tablet. The basic 7" Samsung thing is within reach https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-Wi-Fi-Black/dp/B01C3FHO3K/
You can use Android WhatsApp on a tablet with no SIM but you can't currently use the same account on your phone and your tablet at the same time.

Nah, specifically meant ipad as I'm not really familiar with Android or other mobile/tablet OS.
And from my experience the hardware is sufficiently better quality that second hand is more viable.It would work for my MIL with whatsapp as she won't have it on her mobile as she doesn't have a smartphone, but has a phone to receive the code for verification (if I understand the process correctly).

Will £100 get you an iPad that’ll do web browsing, email, video calling etc. All the basic stuff, without being shit and slow? Trying to get an iPad for my mother in law, who’s wheelchair bound with MS but happily manages texting on an old phone and laptop use.
Smartphone is a bit too fiddly/droppable (and I’m sure an iPad would be equally droppable, hence trying to give it a go for cheap).
I have a gen 1 iPad but it’s basically unusable with how slow and crashy it is - which I can’t imagine would be great for someone with impaired motor control.
Can you get WhatsApp on iPads now?
