TURN OFF DARK MODE

I was going through the steps in this article and nothing was working until I realised that I had changed my browser to dark mode. The QR code was being displayed on a black background and the Android phone couldn’t read it. When I temporarily changed it back to light so that the QR code was on a white background, it finally scanned.

Hope this can help anyone with a similar problem

If you run Duckduckgo Privacy Essentials on FF, it will mess with your QR. In my XP, whitelisting (https://web.whatsapp.com/) will not solve the problem, only a global disabling. Go figure…

I had tried everything but then after seeing this article I realized it was because of Dark Reader, which was on by default. Turning it off for Whatsapp Web fixed the problem instantly. Thanks! :slight_smile:
