The popular photo-sharing app has added a new feature that will allow you to generate QR codes for their profiles. These can be scanned from any camera app.

Once a QR code is scanned with a third-party camera app, users will be led to your Instagram account. They can then follow, browse through, or check for information.

The new feature was first launched in Japan in 2019. You can take a picture of the Instagram QR code from your default phone camera too.
