Scanning someone's QR code brings up a confirmation page with their basic public profile and a connect action: the connection only happens once it's confirmed, not automatically.
When someone scans your QR code, they don't get instantly connected to you. There's a confirmation step first, so nothing happens without both of you being aware of it.
In other words, scanning alone doesn't create a connection. Confirming does. The other person's phone shows a short "confirm you met" style screen before anything is finalized.
It happens. If you scan your own QR code, the app recognizes this and lets you know instead of doing anything odd. You'll see a friendly message telling you to share it with someone else instead.
This confirmation step is what keeps scanning a QR code from being an automatic connection. It always requires the other person to confirm first.
Does scanning someone's QR code connect us automatically?
No. Scanning brings up a confirmation page, and the connection is only created once the person who scanned it selects "connect."
What information does someone see when they scan my QR code?
They see your basic public profile information on a confirmation page, along with a connect action.
What happens if I accidentally scan my own QR code?
The app recognizes it's your own code and shows a friendly message letting you know, instead of trying to connect you to yourself.
