Instagram launches QR Codes support globally

Instagram has introduced a new way of following profiles on the social networking platform. Users can now generate QR codes which can be scanned by supported camera apps.

To create your own QR code, Instagram users need to visit the settings menu on your profile. Then, tap on the QR code. You can then share the image with others.

Instagram had first experimented the feature in Japan last year. It is now rolling out for all users globally.

According to TheVerge, the QR code will help businesses share their profiles much easier. For instance, they can print the QR code on their business cards. Users will get options such as following your account as well as buy items.
