Sometimes, just waiting a moment helps too. The QR code could be delayed due to server issues. Be patient!

True! I once waited 10 minutes before the QR finally appeared. But who has time for that, right?
I also suggest resetting your network settings if nothing works. Sometimes a reset can fix odd connectivity issues.
Good thinking! It’s something worth trying along with the other suggestions. Who knew connecting could be so complicated?
Has anyone tried contacting Google support about this? Their help might provide a solution if it’s a widespread issue.
Now there’s a thought! It might also get us some laughs if they suggest something outrageous. Let us know if you do!

I’ve been having the same issue! It seems like compatibility varies between devices. Which device are you using?
I’m using a Pixel 6 and I’ve had no problems, but my friend on a Samsung had issues too. Maybe it’s a brand or OS thing.

I’m on an older Motorola and I couldn’t get the QR code to load either. It’s interesting how the Android version plays a role here.
I’m using an iPhone, and I’ve had no issues. Is anyone else facing problems on iOS devices?
I’m on iOS as well, and I can confirm it works smoothly for me. Maybe it’s specific models causing issues?
Could it be related to the app version? I just updated Google Messages and the QR code popped up right away.
That’s good to know! Updated apps often fix glitches. What version are you on?
I checked, and I’m on v8.0.0. I wonder if that could be the magic number here!
It might also depend on browser choice. Some users had success with Chrome, while others had no luck with Firefox.
I’m always on Chrome and it’s worked flawlessly. Guess I’ll never know what it feels like to use Firefox with Google Messages!
Interesting point! I wonder if we should try clearing our browser cache to see if that helps.
Or maybe Google is just messing with us? I’d like to see a world where QR codes are super reliable, not a game of chance!
