Your Zaplog QR code is a quick way for someone to find you. It points at your @username, so anyone who scans it can open your profile and start a chat.

Show your QR code

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Tap the QR code icon next to your profile.
  3. Your code appears under My code.

From here you can:

  • Share the code as a picture.
  • Save it to your phone. It goes into Pictures/Zaplog.
  • Copy a link to your profile.

If you haven't set a username yet, Zaplog shows No username yet and a Set a username button.

Scan a code

  1. Open the QR code screen and switch to scanning.
  2. Point your camera at a Zaplog QR code. You can pinch to zoom and tap to focus. Use the flash button in low light.
  3. When Zaplog recognizes the code, tap Message to start a chat or View profile.

To scan a code from a screenshot or photo, tap Scan from a picture.
