WhatsApp’s new feature is QR code that makes it easy to share channels.
WhatsApp, now under Meta, is all set to transform channel sharing with the help of the new feature – WhatsApp QR code. This new feature improves the way a user invites or joins a channel making the process more convenient and easy. At first, it was available only for celebrities and popular brands, but now it is gradually being introduced for all.
This paper will explain how the WhatsApp QR code feature works.
Users are now able to create their own QR code for their channels so that others can simply scan the code and access the channels faster than having to copy and paste the links. This feature is more useful when used in face to face communication where a user is able to capture a code from a device or printed material and be redirected to the correct channel immediately.
To use the feature, users with access can:
Switch to the information panel of their channel.
