WhatsApp is known for its remarkable and user-friendly features, and its latest addition is the ability to add contacts via QR codes. This feature has been tested for months and is now available for all users. In this guide, I will show you how to create new contacts using this cool feature. Normally, adding a contact would involve searching for the number or typing in the name and number manually.
However, with QR codes, you can save time and effort. All you need to do is receive the code, scan it, and the number of that person will be saved as your WhatsApp contact. It’s important to note that there are separate QR codes for personal contacts and creating contacts for a WhatsApp group. Additionally, this feature is currently only available for Android devices and iPhones/iPads. If you use WhatsApp Web, you won’t be able to use the QR system for adding new contacts.
