Are you tired of saving new contacts on your phone before you can chat with them on WhatsApp? It feels very stressful right, especially when the person is just standing in front of you?
WhatsApp is actually one of the best social media platforms in the world. This is because the rate of spam messages is very low as compared to other popular social media like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc.
Previously, starting a new conversation with someone on WhatsApp was a little bit tedious. You had to add the contact to your phonebook before you can chat with him/her. But, that is a thing of the past now.
The new WhatsApp QR Code feature, which is available for both Android and iOS users, allows you to contacts in just a few seconds. With just a single QR Code scan, you can start a chat with whoever you want.
How Does The WhatsApp QR Code Works?
The WhatsApp QR Code feature allows you to save a contact, start a conversation, and even add someone to a group by scanning a QR Code. Anyone can add you to their contacts on WhatsApp by simply scanning your WhatsApp.
This helps you in saving a contact quickly as compared to the previous method where you would have had to save the contact to your phonebook. This has also helped marketers and individuals in starting a conversation very quickly.
