WhatsApp is constantly updated, and changes some of its important features. The app, owned by Facebook, now has a very large number of users (several billion) and aims to completely replace the messaging functions external to the internet, such as SMS.
Among the thousand innovations that WhatsApp provides, there are some that risk completely changing the use of the App.
The leaders of WhatsApp, for example, have announced the arrival of QR codes useful for joining groups. Do you want to invite someone to a multiple chat? There is no need for invitations to be made, there is no need to know the phone number of the person to be added, a code will suffice. The QR code will be photographed et voila, here is our contact the group has been added. And all without knowing his number.

Already today the QR codes are used by WhatsApp, but only serve to access the web version. In other words, they are used to transfer the screen from our phone to our computer. But with the changes underway, the code will also serve to add people to our chats without knowing their number. A noticeable difference.
In short, the operation will be rather simple: with the code that will be sent to the user, he or she will have direct access to a chat. And it should be remembered that a group can be considered as such even if it contains three people. Once the user has scanned the code through his own camera, the exchange of contacts will already be perfected.
But be careful: to be able to use the new code you need to have the new WhatsApp beta, that is the number 2.20.195.1. How do you get it? Simple: go to the PlayStore and type in WhatsApp Beta. A few seconds and here it is on our smartphone. From now on, most likely, to give our contact to someone, we will no longer have to say or type our number, but a photo of a QR code will be enough.
