Granted, those who have my biz card tend to be more into technology for technology's sake, so my experience with that is a bit skewed.

That said, paper business cards that have my QR code are used daily. You can see how quick Apple's QR reading is by scanning a QR code with Wallet.
TWITTER FOR MAC ICON ANDROID
I do see a lot of Android folks using their phone to scan QR codes on items in stores - I have never looked close enough to see what kind of app they were using, but Android too lacks native QR scanning for this kind of purpose.

But you're correct in that most folks who just use the native camera app and don't use the Wallet app, will not know what they need to download to use it. will the average person know what to do with them?Good question Apple embraced QR codes with iOS 7, but has kept them limited to the Wallet app many 3rd party camera apps, however, recognize QR codes automatically and will open up a browser when viewing the code. what are you supposed to scan them with? Does it need a special app? How is this not built into the OS ? When you see QR codes printed on a poster or something in the real world. Random question about QR codes in general (not about Twitter): Yes, they could take a pic of the URL, but then you have the whole "look at the URL, type part of it in a browser, visit the photo again to make sure i didn't make typos, etc" and that's a bit of a pain when you're trying to do something quickly.įor online - yeah, QR codes are harder, but if you've got a business and have cards or signs up, that's a very quick way to send people your profile info w/o having to make them type a URL.īonus points for making the QR codes slightly different if using it to send a customer to one's own website - you can have the URL embedded in the QR code lead to a different URL (which redirects to the home page) and analyze the logs later to see which QR codes people are scanning when in a store/business (each sign with the QR code would be tracked, so if a customer scans it on the front door sign, you'd know vs the sign in a different part of the building - same with printing it on a biz card - this way you can track an "offline referer" of sorts - so you know the person used a biz card, or a front door sign to discover your website). But if they see a QR code, they can simply snap a shot of it and later use the social media app to load that QR code in and 'friend' or 'follow' the business.
Having a sign with a Facebook/Instagram/Pinterest/Twitter/etc links - people with smart phones will look at it, and maybe they will stop to type the URL out. Eg: Follow Us on (insert social media name and URL here). *eye roll*There's one very good use of QR codes that do make this useful - "IRL" use. īecause sending an handle or a link is too difficult these days. Twitter for iOS can be downloaded from the App Store for free. Twitter's QR codes are currently rolling out to users and may not be immediately available for everyone. QR codes were first made popular by Snapchat as a quick way to find your friends without having to search for them, but they may not be as popular on Twitter because the QR code settings are buried so deeply within the app. You can follow MacRumors on Twitter by scanning the below code with your iPhone and the Twitter app. Scanning a QR code is as simple as using the iPhone's camera to either scan from a secondary screen or an image you've saved to the camera roll. In the app, go to your profile, tap on the gear icon, and select the "QR Code" option to generate your own personal QR code or scan someone else's code. To access your Twitter QR code, you'll need the official Twitter app for iOS. Each Twitter QR code is unique to an individual Twitter user, so when scanned, it'll bring up the person's account. Twitter today introduced Snapchat-style QR codes, which are designed to make it easier to find and follow friends on the social network.
