Went I wanted to link my Signal Android to my Signal for Desktop, I did the following steps:

  1. Open Signal Desktop
  2. It shows me a screen telling me to scan a QR code to link my device

So I opened my Signal Android, and:

  1. Touch the three-dots menu on the top-left
  2. Select "Settings"
  3. I saw a button with QR logo on the right
  4. I touched the QR button
  5. I touched the "Scan" button
  6. Scanned the QR code on my Signal for Desktop
  7. Was greeted with this error screen saying "The QR code was invalid":

This is confusing, but the button shaped like a QR code is not for linking devices via QR code. It's only for scanning new contacts via their personal QR code.

In order to link a new device, you must go to subsection of the setting menu:

  1. Settings
  2. Linked devices
  3. Link a new device
