How the WhatsApp QR code works
The QR code encodes a 'wa.me' link with your phone number and, if provided, a pre-written message.
When scanned, WhatsApp opens directly in the chat with that number, with the message ready to send.
Worked example
Number '+15551234567' with message 'Hi, I'd like more info': the QR code opens WhatsApp with the chat and message already typed.
