Basic Fixes

Ensure that you have set the screen of your Mac orWindows PCto high brightness levels. This will help in quickly scanning the QR code from your phone camera. For Mac, you can press the F2 key to increase the brightness levels.

Fix 2: Turn Off Dark Mode

If you have Dark Mode enabled on your Mac or Windows PC, chances are that your phone won’t be able to scan the Telegram Web QR code due to inverted colors. We suggest turning it off.

On Mac

OpenSettings > Appearance > Choose Light.

On Desktop

OpenSettings > Personalization > Color > Switch to Light.

Fix 3: Switch to a Different Web Version of Telegram

There are two different web versions of Telegram – K and A. There’s not much of a difference between them except for design elements.Version Khas slightly wider chat screen and 3D button layout in comparison toVersion A.

Fix 4: Clear Cache on the Web Browser

To improve your browsing experience, your web browser collects cache data that helps in the quick loading of the websites that you visit frequently. If the basic solutions did not help, you could try clearing your web browser’s cache to see if it solves the problem with your phone not scanning the Telegram Web QR code.
