What is a Snapcode on Snapchat?

I’ve seen Snapcodes used to add friends and unlock features on Snapchat. What exactly is a Snapcode, and how do you use one?

A Snapcode is a unique, scannable QR-style code on Snapchat that represents a user profile, filter, lens, or link. Each Snapchat user has their own Snapcode, which others can scan using the Snapchat camera to instantly add them as a friend or unlock specific lenses and features. To use a Snapcode, you simply open Snapchat, point the camera at the code, press and hold on the screen, and Snapchat will recognize it and show the associated profile or content.
