SMS QR code FAQ
How does an SMS QR code work?
It encodes the recipient number and a pre-written message. When scanned, the phone opens the messaging app with both fields filled in, so the user just taps send.
Will the message send automatically?
No. The user reviews and sends the message manually, which is the expected behaviour on iOS and Android.
What number format works best?
Use the international format with country code for reliability across devices and carriers.
Can I leave the message blank?
Yes. If you leave the message empty, scanning simply opens a new text addressed to your number.
Is the SMS QR code generator free?
Yes — free, no signup and no watermark.
