TL;DRThe Google Messages web app won’t allow users to pair using QR codes for much longer, according to a new warning.Users will instead have to sign in using their Google account credentials.We don’t know when exactly this is happening, but Google says “soon.”The Google Messages web app is losing a convenient login option. Users have been seeing a warning in the app, telling them that starting soon, you’ll no longer be able to scan a QR code from your smartphone to access your texts on the web.User Peacefullyinsane94 posted a photo of the warning dialog on the Google Messages subreddit today, and sure enough, I’m seeing the same message on the Messages web app this afternoon. The warning says that “QR code pairing is going away soon,” recommending that users sign into the web app with their Google account ahead before that happens.
