Normally, when someone comes to your house and they ask to connect to your WiFi, you either go find the password if you can’t remember it or you go ahead and manually connect them to the network. In addition, when you meet someone new and want their contact info, you normally exchange numbers, call each other and then create a new contact with the person’s info.
This will probably not change anytime soon, but with cool new tech built into our phones, you can definitely make yourself stand out by making this process much simpler. A friend recently told me about a free website that lets you create your own QR codes for a whole bunch of different uses. If you’re not sure what a QR code is, check out the Wiki entry.
So, how is generating your own QR code actually useful? Well, for those running the latest version of iOS (11), QR codes are way more useful because the default camera app can now read them automatically. That means there is no need to download a separate app just to scan a QR code.
Create Custom QR Code
The first thing you’ll want to do is create your custom QR code. The best way to do this is to use a free site called QRCode Monkey. It’s completely free and super easy to use. I literally created my first QR code in about 2 minutes.
