This week has been a busy one for Twitter as the company has announced new tools to help combat harassment. Now, Twitter has announced that select users will receive QR codes for their accounts. Much like the QR codes provided by Snapchat, these codes will allow you to easily share your Twitter account to be shared with other users.

This feature has yet to be rolled out to everyone, but if you want to see if you have a QR code, you can do so by:

Navigate to your Profile
Select the (…) in the top right hand corner
Select “QR Code”

We’re still waiting for our QR code to go live, but if you have this feature already rolled out to you, give us a heads up below. In the meantime, head over to the Phandroid Twitter account to keep track of all the latest news!
