WhatsApp Business app now supports QR code scanning and Catalog sharing.

Facebook

announced on Wednesday about some new features for the WhatsApp Business app. According to the company, WhatsApp Business currently has over 50 million users worldwide, and the new features will help people easily 'stay in touch with businesses to ask questions, get information, or find something they want to buy'.

Upgrade to the latest version of WhatsApp Business: Discover new functionalities such as QR code support and the ability to share business catalogs just like social media links. Both features are now globally available.

Speaking of QR codes, Facebook ensures that engaging with businesses will be easier than ever. Now, initiating a conversation is as simple as scanning a QR code displayed on storefronts, product packaging, or receipts.

Explaining how this feature works, Facebook states: 'Scanning the QR code will open a chat window with a pre-composed message created by the business to start the conversation. With the messaging tools of the app, businesses can promptly share information such as their catalogs'. The company mentions collaborating with a Brazilian fashion brand named Ki Mindful Wearing to test this feature.

Get WhatsApp Business's latest version now! New additions include QR code support and the capability to share business catalogs akin to social media links. These enhancements are currently rolling out worldwide.

WhatsApp now supports sharing catalogs and individual products like links on websites, Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms. The company shares: 'If people want to share a catalog or product they're interested in with friends or family, they can simply copy the link and send it via WhatsApp or other channels'.
