Meta-owned WhatsApp has announced the development of a new feature that allows channel owners to share their channels via QR codes, offering a more seamless sharing experience than traditional links.
According to WABetaInfo, the upcoming feature will enable channel owners to generate a QR code for their channel, which can be displayed directly on their device screens. Nearby users can then scan the QR code instantly, eliminating the need to copy and share links manually. This feature is especially useful for face-to-face interactions, enabling quick access to channels in social or professional settings.
Once scanned, users will be redirected to the channel, allowing them to view and follow it with a single tap. WhatsApp’s QR code functionality aims to make the sharing process more spontaneous, engaging, and convenient for users seeking to promote their favorite channels in real time.
