Don’t open Instagram to find a profile
Instagram is bringing QR codes to the app. Users can now generate QR codes that’ll be scannable from any supporting, third-party camera apps. It first launched the product in Japan last year. The idea is that businesses can print their QR code and have customers scan it to open their Instagram account easily. From there, people can see store hours, buy items, or just follow the account.
To generate your QR code, go to the settings menu on your profile and tap QR code. You might still see Nametag there, but eventually, it’ll become QR code. You can then save or share the image. Instagram previously deployed a similar system called Nametags, which were internal QR-like codes that could only be scanned from the Instagram camera. It’s now deprecating the feature entirely.
Multiple other apps employ their own QR-like system, including Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, and Spotify. (Only Twitter supports actual QR codes.) But with the pandemic, it’s unsurprising to see Instagram embrace the more open QR system.

Instagram QR codes
The photo-sharing app has introduced a universal QR code capability that will let you find, check out, and follow people's profiles. The feature has replaced the previous one that performed the same ability; the Facebook-owned app previously introduced the Nametag feature that allowed you to follow people by simply scanning the emoji-filled QR code.
The difference between both the features is that the new universal QR codes can be used via any camera app to access others' Instagram profile while Nametags allowed for the same only via Instagram's built-in camera.
