Facebook recently announced the introduction of message codes that can be used to add new contacts and, more importantly, communicate directly with enterprises and page businesses (which is why I am interested in this).
It took me a long time to find it, but in the lower left part of the message tab on my Facebook page I have the opportunity to upload my code in three different sizes - clicking on the disk will open a modal window in which you can click the "Download" button and select of 300, 600 or 1000 pixels PNG files.
NOTE. Despite the fact that they are PNG files, the background is not transparent, which seems a little oversight for me, but, hey, this is what Photoshop, in my opinion.
The problem is that although I can upload my code, I cannot find a way to test it on printed materials (or even electronically at the moment!). The scan feature doesn't seem to have been deployed yet for me (I tried reinstalling the Messenger app to find out if I have a new version, but that didn't work) and for no one I know (I'm in the UK). Codes are for Messenger, so they cannot be scanned or tested using any other application.
I'm probably getting too far ahead of the game, but is there a way to check if my code scans correctly, or wherever I am to find out? I would like to use it on some advertising materials, which are likely to be long-term materials that I do not want to update in the near future (several years, by then, most likely, these codes will become more ordinary).
I also need to know what redundancy is. For example, the generated high redundancy QR codes that I generate can have up to 30% of the code that is still in use, which is great for design purposes. I still can not find the official documentation for these codes, not to mention the specification required. etc.
I know that the most likely option is to "sit and wait," but I really would have preferred it if possible. I have never been very patient ...
thanks
UPDATE: The My Messenger app is now updated, so I can check, but I leave it here if someone knows about another way to test, maybe? If someone does not have a Messenger phone on their phone, for example.
