Using Telegram's QR Code Feature

Telegram offers robust QR code functionality, making it easy for users to share profiles, groups, channels, and bots. Although Telegram's mobile app supports generating QR codes, the client does not have a built-in QR code scanner. Here's a detailed explanation of how to use Telegram's QR code features.

Conclusion

Using Telegram's QR code feature can significantly streamline the information sharing process. By scanning QR codes with a phone camera, users can quickly access relevant content, and desktop users can also log in effortlessly by scanning a QR code.

Detailed Instructions

  1. QR Code Generation and Sharing On mobile, users can generate QR codes for their profiles, groups, channels, and bots, making them easy to share with others. While the Telegram client doesn't have a built-in QR code scanner, users can utilise their phone's native camera app to scan. After scanning, the link will automatically open the Telegram client and directly navigate to the corresponding information.

  2. Using Third-Party Applications Users can also leverage third-party applications like Intent, whose developers have integrated a "scan QR code" option into their clients, allowing users to use the QR code functionality more conveniently.

  3. Desktop Login On the desktop version, users can choose to log in by "scanning a QR code." To do this, you'll need to use the Telegram mobile app to scan the QR code displayed on your computer. The specific steps are: on the mobile app, go to Settings, select "Devices," and then tap "Scan QR Code."

Through the methods described above, users can fully utilise Telegram's QR code functionality to enhance the efficiency and convenience of information sharing.
