Facebook gave businesses the Like button connected to their Page, and now Snapchat is giving websites their own QR Snapcodes. With today’s iOS update and Android beta, users can create a unique Snapcode for a website, which will open inside Snapchat when they scan it with the app’s camera. This could create a powerful way for businesses and other sites to promote themselves with photographable symbols instead of just a URL.
To use the feature, open “Settings” and select “Snapcodes,” then “Create Snapcode.” Enter the URL, add an image from the website or your phone, resize it so it fits inside the Snapchat ghost logo and then you can save it for use wherever. There’s also a web editor for Snapcodes available here.
