Does the QR Code expire?

The studio's QR is static: it keeps the address inside the drawing and has no expiration date. It only stops working if the number loses its WhatsApp account.

The person still has to tap send. The link does not send anything by itself.

HTML code

Open in the QR studio

Step by step

Create the link in the generator above.
Tap make a QR Code. The studio opens with the number and the message already filled in (a QR message holds at most 160 letters).
Pick the size, download it and print a copy to test with two phones.

TipThe right size depends on the scanning distance. The QR studio shows the minimum size for each use.

Menu names change from one version to the next. That is why this guide tells you what to look for, not where to click.
