News & Reviews:   scanning

Going through tolls in Malaysia may be one of the things that we don't look forward to, but a fellow Malaysian is looking to change that. Chee How Lim, an aerospace engineer is looking to provide computer vision and AI adoption in Southeast Asia with his company, Tapway.

While the COVID-19 cases dramatically increased in the past few weeks, the Malaysian Medical Association suggests that the QR code scanning feature that we use to check into places is no longer helpful. The president, Dr Koh Kar Chai, also said that it might be time to consider taking down the feature from the MySejahtera app.

Based on a statement by wabetainfo.com, it seems that it could be possible to share contact info via QR code on WhatsApp very soon. While there is no official information in regards to when the feature will be available to the public, a beta version of WhatsApp with the QR scanning feature is currently available starting from today onwards.
