WhatsApp is on everyone's lips, so perhaps it is the best time to launch news, such as that now it will be possible to share a link to a group with a QR code.
We say that WhatsApp is on everyone's lips, because just a few hours ago it officially presented the dark mode for both Android and iOS. This fact made WhatsApp a trend on Twitter, and not precisely because of a drop, as is usual.
Going back to the topic that concerns us right now, according to WABetaInfo, there is a novelty that is about to reach WhatsApp for Android and which is currently only available in beta.
This novelty consists of the fact that the administrator of a WhatsApp group may have access to a QR code through which they can allow other people access the group.
In other words, the method for sharing a group link will no longer be a simple link, but we will have the option of a QR code.
This option will appear in the Invitation menu, just where the group link now appears that can be copied to be shared with others people.
To access the WhatsApp group, all you have to do is open the WhatsApp camera and read the QR code that appears on the screen of the mobile of the person who invites us to their group, and in just a second we would already be in the group.
This brings us to another novelty, and that is that, to this day, the WhatsApp camera cannot read QR codes, but work is already being done on it so that these two novelties will come out very soon officially.
The fact that WhatsApp groups can already be accessed with a QR code is not new, but for this you have to use other applications to convert the link into a QR code and then another app that reads said code and redirects us to the group in question to which we want to belong.
But in the case of iPhone, this novelty that we are talking about in this article has already existed for some time, but the code It is read with the mobile camera, not with the WhatsApp camera.
Be that as it may, there are still a few weeks left until this novelty officially appears on WhatsApp for Android.
