I never liked how you add people on Snapchat.Without pictures and profiles, it’s always been hard to know if I added the right person or account. Yesterday though, Snapchat added a feature that makes it easier for people to add others on the platform. It also makes it easier to cross-promote accounts elsewhere.
Here’s what they did: Snapchat rolled out custom QR codes to each profile. To add someone, users take a photo of someone’s QR code using the Snapchat camera. It’s as simple as that.
There’s a workaround that makes this feature really cool for teams and leagues to cross-promote their account. Here’s how it works: Take a screenshot of your account’s QR code from your phone and promote that picture on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. To add your team account, all a fan has to do is open the app, point the camera at their medizin-de.com screen (and on the ghost) and tap. A simple and cool way to cross-promote your account!
Here’s what it looks like:

Have you tried to promote your Snapchat account this way? If so, did you get more followers? I would love to hear how it worked.
Thanks for reading!
Meh. Yeah, it’s a cool way to promone one’s Snapchat account but it’s still hard to invite people to join on Snapchat.
I think that the main problem is that people still think that it’s a place to send naked pictures. It’s a shame.
