New Contact - share QR Code as image

IIRC the old versions of Delta Chat allowed to share QR Code as image.
Currently it’s impossible to do that.
Can it be fixed?

make a screenshot for now and share that?

newer versions allow sharing QR codes as “Invite Links”, which is a much more powerful method.

  • these “Invite Links” are known from other messengers
  • can be shared much easier over different channels
  • can also be shown as a QR code if needed.
  • if Delta Chat is installed, the “Invite Links” even work without internet as the QR codes, the server does not get any information
  • if Delta Chat is not installed, user get instructions how to do so. the server still does not get any information

to not mess up the UI, to free development resources and to push user to the “best working way”, we tuned down sharing “QR codes as images” - which were never working consistently through all apps, btw.
if you still really want to share a QR code as image, as mentioned, you can do that by a screenshot
