| Sep 7, 2019 at 5:42 | comment | added | Almir Campos | My 2 cents: *****if you're running any extension that changes the page's colors*****, it can be the culprit because it might change the default colors of the QR code (black on white). In my case I was running the Dark Reader extension. So, I disabled it, ran the QR code scan, and enabled it again. I got this solution from this answer | |

I think people are getting problem because they are installing third party QR code scanners. Open the Whatsapp>Menu>Whats app Web | |

| Jan 22, 2015 at 6:50 | comment | added | Rohit Prakash | I am having Sony live with walkman, and also I can't able to scan the code, beside that NeoReader is able to scan the code easily. On scanning the code, it shows some of the garbage text(might a be a session cookie or signature to verify the account). If anyone is facing the same problem and have any workaround for that, Please post here. . . .. | |
| Jan 22, 2015 at 5:41 | comment | added | Peter Carlos | Are you holding the device correctly enough for the QR scanner to work ! I somewhere doubt that this is still a new service which might be the reason why things are going a little out of the.... | |
| Jan 22, 2015 at 5:26 | comment | added | LyricWulf | Is the problem that the page won't open, or that the app won't scan the QR at all? Have you tried a different scanning app? (I recommend Barcode Scanner.) | |
