“#How to Generate a URL QR Code in Google Chrome on Android”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\"google<\/p>\n

There are plenty of ways to share links from Google Chrome on Android. You can copy a URL or share it directly with another app<\/a>. But it\u2019s always good to have more options, and one such option is QR codes.<\/p>\n

A QR code is a type of barcode that contains information that can be revealed when scanned by a QR code reader. They can be used to store various bits of information, including URLs.<\/p>\n

In the example of the Chrome browser, the generated QR code links to the URL you\u2019re sharing. You could hold up the QR code for a friend to scan or download it for other purposes. Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n

To use the QR code sharing feature in Google Chrome<\/a> on Android, we\u2019ll need to enable a couple of feature flags. Enabling these flags will not alter your browsing experience, but know that, at the time of writing, the feature is experimental. Enabling flags might cause issues down the road.<\/p>\n

Open the \u201cChrome\u201d app on your Android phone or tablet and type chrome:\/\/flags<\/code> \u00a0in the address bar.<\/p>\n

\"go<\/p>\n

Next, in the search bar on the \u201cChrome Flags\u201d page, enter \u201cSharing Hub.\u201d Switch the \u201cChrome Sharing Hub\u201d flag from \u201cDefault\u201d to \u201cEnabled.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"enable<\/p>\n

Before you relaunch Chrome, type \u201cQR Code\u201d in the search box. Switch the \u201cChrome Share QRCodes\u201d flag to \u201cEnabled.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"enable<\/p>\n

Now tap \u201cRelaunch\u201d to put the changes into effect.<\/p>\n

\"relaunch<\/p>\n

With Google Chrome back open, go to the webpage you\u2019d like to share with a QR code. Once there, tap the address bar and select the share icon.<\/p>\n

\"select<\/p>\n

The \u201cShare Sheet\u201d will pop up from the bottom of the screen. At the top of the sheet will be a \u201cQR Code\u201d option. Tap it.<\/p>\n

\"tap<\/p>\n

The QR code will be generated and displayed on your screen. You can now let people scan this or tap \u201cDownload\u201d to save the QR code to your device and use it elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\"share<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also notice there is a \u201cScan\u201d tab at the top of this screen. This method also works as an easy way to open up a QR code scanner (other than opening your phone or tablet\u2019s camera app).<\/p>\n

\"chrome's<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all there is to it. A QR code and scanner are now just a few taps away in your Android web browser whenever you need them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
