Social Security Portugal launches new QR code feature for mobile app

Portugal's Social Security (Segurança Social) has introduced a new feature to streamline the transition between its web portal and mobile application. Users can now use a QR code displayed on the Social Security Portal to jump directly to the corresponding function within the mobile app.

This update is designed to increase convenience and mobility, particularly for tasks that are easier to complete on a smartphone, such as those requiring the device's camera. The feature aims to eliminate the need for users to manually search for specific services within the app after starting a process on a computer.
