2025 Complete Guide: How to Use Telegram QR Code Scan Feature
· 2 min read
1. QR Code Sharing on Mobile
On the Telegram mobile app, you can generate a QR code for your personal account, group, channel, or bot to quickly share it with others. However, please note:
- Telegram itself does not have a built-in "Scan QR Code" feature.
- If someone sends you a Telegram QR code, you can use your phone’s built-in camera app to scan it. After scanning, it will automatically redirect you to the Telegram app and open the corresponding page. WeChat's scanner may be blocked by Tencent.
If your phone’s default camera is blocked or doesn’t work properly, you can use this third-party QR code scanner: https://tgqrscan.com/en/index.html
