QR Code is the essence of WeChat. We will learn how to design it better and use it to our benefit.
If you want to stand out with your QR code and put it on your business material, choose a good photo of yourself, add a plain background, and save it to your phone. Now add it as a profile photo and choose an excellent QR code design. Save your result and share it with the world.

Save a WeChat QR code to your phone.
By pressing on it, you will save your QR code to your phone. It is beneficial to keep and send it to your friends to scan and add you as their WeChat friend.
How to Scan a QR Code
Scanning other friend’s QR codes is the best way to add new contacts, especially when meeting new friends. Just ask them if they have WeChat and if you can scan their code. The best way to do this is to ask if they have WeChat and then tell them, “Let’s be WeChat friends! Do you want me to scan you, or you will scan me”?
Now that you have added a new friend, you can use the tickle trick! Double-click on their photo when you open a chat conversation with this friend and want to catch their attention. You will see the note that you have tickled his (according to his tickle name)! You can double-click on your photo on the chat and pat yourself. To choose a tickle name, press on the Me tab, then on your profile photo, and you will see “Tickle.” Press on it and select a nickname that will be displayed whenever someone is tickling you.
How to Reset QR Code
Do not press the reset QR code. If you press it, your previous QR code will expire, and all your old conversations and documents will no longer be relevant. You never want that to happen.
