WhatsApp to soon add a QR code shortcut to let you scan, share code easily: Report

In May this year, WhatsApp was spotted testing a QR Code shortcut in the app. Now, another tweet from WhatsApp beta tester WABetaInfo pretty much confirms the feature and hints that it may roll out to end users very soon. The QR code feature, in typical BBM-style, will allow users to scan the code to add a contact or share their codes to share their own contact details with someone else.
