What is a Social Media QR Code?

A social media QR code links directly to your profile on a specific platform. When scanned, it opens the social media app (or website) directly to your profile, making it easy for people to follow you.

This is more direct than sharing your handle - users don't have to search for you or remember your username. One scan and they're on your profile ready to follow.
