WhatsApp New Feature: Users Might Soon Be Able To View & Share Channels Using QR Codes

The new QR code sharing feature was recently discovered by feature tracker WABetaInfo in the latest WhatsApp versions for iOS and Android.

Since their introduction last year, WhatsApp Channels have evolved significantly, with Meta consistently adding new features. The latest addition, now in beta, enables users to easily share, discover, and follow Channels via a quick response (QR) code within the app.

This feature is currently being tested on the latest WhatsApp beta versions for both iOS and Android, and it's expected to be available to all users in the near future.

WhatsApp New Feature: Export WhatsApp Channel QR Codes To Other Apps

The new QR code sharing feature was recently discovered by feature tracker WABetaInfo in the latest WhatsApp versions for iOS and Android. Beta testers with the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.25.7 or WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.24.10.76 can try the feature.

To use it, users must be on the latest beta version, manage an existing WhatsApp Channel, and open the Channel information panel. From there, they can choose the sharing options, including the ability to generate a QR code.

Once the QR code is created, users can share it with others via WhatsApp or any messaging app. The QR code, which is presented as an image, can also be sent through third-party apps, email, or even printed out. This feature could be particularly useful for businesses aiming to make it easier for customers to follow their channels.

It's not yet clear when this QR code sharing feature will be made available to all users in the stable version. WhatsApp is also testing other new features, such as sharing entire sticker packs, a 'Search on the web' image lookup tool, and cross-device contact management. These features are expected to be rolled out to users after further testing in the beta program.
