Why you should use a WhatsApp QR Code generator
Drawbacks of using WhatsApp’s default QR Codes
- No tracking capabilities
- Limited customization options
- You cannot select the error correction levels
- You cannot select a suitable format to download your QR Code
With the help of a WhatsApp QR Code generator, you can carry out all of the above actions seamlessly.
Here are 4 essential features of Beaconstac’s custom QR Code generator that can help you optimize and upgrade your existing WhatsApp strategy:
#1 Dynamic QR Codes for editing existing campaigns
Let’s say your contact number has changed, or your QR Code links to the wrong group on WhatsApp.
If you’re using a dynamic QR Code generator, rather than resharing the QR Code, you can change its destination to point to the correct URL.
Since dynamic QR Codes are editable QR Codes, modifying the campaign is a breeze, and the new changes are reflected instantly.
#2 Track and analyze WhatsApp QR Code scans effortlessly
You can track the success of your campaign closely using a WhatsApp QR Code generator with analytics. Learn where the QR Code was scanned, the number of times it was scanned, the OS used, and other important information that can help you fine-tune your campaign.

#3 Include WhatsApp in your all-in-one social media QR Code
While creating a social media QR Code on Beaconstac’s WhatsApp QR Code generator, you can also include the link to your business’s contact number on WhatsApp along with other social media usernames.
This lets you promote all your brand’s social media profiles in one go and elevates your existing social media strategy.
#4 Customize your WhatsApp QR Code extensively
Let your WhatsApp QR Code represent your brand consistently.
You can change the QR Code’s color scheme, modify the eyes, background, add your brand’s logo, select a QR Code template and data pattern, and add a frame text to your QR Code.
Our WhatsApp QR Code generator also lets you create circular QR Codes to fit your brand’s design aesthetic.
#5 Select a suitable error correction level and download format
Before printing your WhatsApp QR Code, you can select the error correction level you require along with the relevant format needed.
Error correction is crucial since it ensures that your QR Code is still scannable after experiencing natural wear and tear.
Selecting the right format is vital to make sure that your QR Code does not get pixelated upon increasing its size.
Beaconstac offers scalable vector formats such as SVG, EPS, and PDF to help maintain your QR Code’s resolution for scanning.

WhatsApp is considered one of the most popular messengers that counts the multi -million audience. The application offers free communication with friends via text messages or voice calls. Developers are constantly improving their product, offering more and more new features. Among them is the use of the web version of the application. nine0003
Scanning a barcode
In order to work in the messenger on a computer, you need to activate it on your phone and go to the application website. To synchronize a smartphone with a PC, the developers have provided a QR code. With it, all data from the mobile application is instantly transferred to the web version.
Option 1: Android
Despite the popularity of the application, some users are still wondering how to scan the code on WhatsApp. In order to do this, you must follow the following algorithm:
- Open the official website of the web version.
To access the web page, the browser must be updated to the latest version (the current version can always be found on our website). - Launch the app on the smartphone.
- On the main chat page, press the button that opens the menu.
- Select WhatsApp Web .
After these steps, the scanner will automatically open on the smartphone screen. It must be brought to the PC monitor and scan the WhatsApp QR code. If everything is done correctly, and the scanner has captured the image, then the web version of the application will open. Contacts, chats, calls and other information from the messenger installed on the smartphone will be automatically transferred to it. nine0003
Option 2: iOS
For devices running on iOS, to open the QR scanner, you must do the following:
- Log in to the messenger.
- Open the settings menu.
- Tap on WhatsApp Web .
It should be noted that the QR code changes periodically.
Therefore, if you cannot access the web version for a long time, you will need to reuse the scanner. In addition, among the features of using the application in a browser, it can be noted that it will work only if not only a PC is connected to the Internet, but also a smartphone on which the messenger is installed. nine0003
The disadvantage of the web version is the inability to make calls. However, here you can send messages, media files, send emoticons. Users are prompted to change profile settings, status. It is assumed that in the future, developers will provide audio and video calls in the web version in the same quality as on a mobile device.

Web WhatsApp - how to scan QR code
0025 Web whatsapp com scan code . Some do not even know what it is and why it is needed ... A QR code is a special barcode, which in this case is needed to identify the user from his device.
As you know, the entrance to the WhatsApp account is carried out after entering the phone number and receiving a special numeric code. However, in the case of the Web version, for some reason, the developers decided to move away from this identification method. nine0003
Immediately after the user goes to the page with the browser version of WhatsApp, a QR code will appear in the upper left corner of the screen . It needs to be scanned with a smartphone. To do this, you will need:
- launch WhatsApp from a mobile phone or tablet;
- Log in to your account if you haven't already done so;
- select "WhatsApp Web" in the Messenger menu;
- Point the mobile device's camera at the code so that it fits into the rectangular frames on the phone screen. nine0012
If everything was done correctly, a characteristic sound will be heard and the WhatsApp messenger will be loaded in the browser.
What the Web version allows you to do
After scanning QR code successfully on Web WhatsApp com , the user automatically gets to the browser version of the messenger.
What are its advantages, and what does it generally allow you to do? And almost everything is exactly the same as the full-fledged mobile version of WhatsApp:
- communicate with friends using text messages and emoticons;
- create and manage both individual and group chats;
- Change profile settings. In this case, all changes will be synchronized with the mobile version;
- change your status;
- send voice messages and take pictures with the webcam on the computer.
But to make voice calls using the browser version of WhatsApp is not yet possible. Perhaps in the future, developers will include such an opportunity, but this is only in the future. The undoubted advantage of the browser version is that typing on a full-sized computer keyboard is much faster and more convenient than on the most “advanced” virtual keyboard on a smartphone screen. Clicking on the on-screen buttons is carried out using the mouse.
As you can see, on Web WhatsApp com , scanning the code is not at all difficult. nine0003
