Snapchat makes it easier to share websites. With the new Snapcodes you can share a website in the form of a QR code in an instant. We show you how creating a Snapcode works.
Create a Snapcode from a website
The update that adds the Snapcodes to Snapchat is now available in the App Store. It is a useful feature for users who want to quickly share a website from within the app. By entering a URL of a website, Snapchat turns it into a QR code similar to the image associated with your account.
As soon as others scan the code, the corresponding website will be opened in Snapchat. By creating such a Snapcode for a website once, you can save it and then quickly share it with others. When creating such a Snapcode, you can also upload a photo to give your code its own look. By following the steps below, you will have created your own code within a minute.
This is how you create a Snapcode from a website
- Open Snapchat and swipe from top to bottom on the screen;
- Tap the gear to open the settings;
- Choose ‘Snapcodes’ from the settings menu;
- Choose ‘Create Snapcode;
- Upload a photo and enter the correct url.
The codes are a godsend for people with their own website. From now on, you no longer have to provide a clumsy URL or put it on your business card: a Snapcode is enough. This way to create your own Snapcodes is available from version 10.1.0.0 of the iOS app and newer. So count on it that you will see the white ghost of Snapchat more often in advertisements and on billboards.
