      Mr Exx, 06 Oct 2018I don't get how this is easy. How do you scan someone's use... moreYou can still use the user name. Why get mad? it is not like they are not allowing the previous way anymore.
      Just because it is not useful for you it doesn't mean it is not useful for others.

          Definitely been a feature for about two months.

            Mr Exx, 06 Oct 2018I don't get how this is easy. How do you scan someone's use... moreUhmmm. One person shows u their nametag, u scan it with your phone. Then u show them Ur nametag and they scan with their phone. As simple as that in theory. But I still feel just verbally telling them Ur username is much easier

              I don't get how this is easy. How do you scan someone's username if you don't have a second phone?
              Are we expected to scan usernames on TV, magazines, newspapers etc? If that is thehid is case the. It is super easy, if otherwise, this is nothing but trash. Excuse me

                It’s still much easier to just tell them your username. This is only convenient for businesses...

                    It'll be good for brands who use paper advertising / promotional materials, but for everyday folks...this is a non-starter.

                    Not surprising IG is building out features for brands though...
