title: Share Code – Understanding Share Codes

SEO Meta Description:
Learn how share codes enable secure data access and sharing using IQAir’s tools. Discover step-by-step methods to manage and share your data efficiently and safely.

In today’s interconnected digital landscape, sharing data securely is paramount. A share code is a unique identifier that allows individuals to grant others access to specific data on their device without compromising overall security. Whether you’re collaborating on a project, monitoring environmental data, or managing personal information, share codes provide a controlled way to share your data seamlessly.

Share codes function as secure gateways between devices or users. When you generate a share code, it encapsulates the necessary permissions and access levels, ensuring that the recipient can only view or interact with the designated data. This system minimizes the risks associated with data sharing, such as unauthorized access or data breaches.

IQAir’s AirVisual app provides a straightforward method to generate and share your device’s share code:

Open the AirVisual App: Launch the app on your smartphone or tablet.
Navigate to Your Device: On the home page, locate the ‘Device’ list and select the device you wish to share.
Access Settings: Click into your device’s full view and tap the three dots icon at the top right to enter the ‘Settings’ page.
Generate Share Code: On the ‘Settings’ page, click ‘Share my air quality’. Choose the app through which you want to share your device’s code, select the recipient, and they will receive a message containing your share code.
Recipient Access: By clicking the received link, your friend can immediately follow your device and access the shared data.

For those who prefer using a desktop:

Sign In: Visit the IQAir website and sign into your profile.
Go to Dashboard: Click on your name tab to access your personal dashboard.
Generate Share Code: From your devices list, click directly on the blue ‘Sharing code’. A pop-up window will display your device’s sharing code, ready to be shared with others.

Sharing your share code should be done thoughtfully to maintain data security:

Choose Trusted Recipients: Only share your code with individuals you trust to access your data.
Use Secure Channels: Utilize secure communication methods, such as encrypted messaging apps, to send your share code.
Limit Access Duration: If possible, set an expiration for the share code to prevent long-term access.

If someone shares their device’s share code with you, accessing their data is simple:

Open the AirVisual App: Launch the app on your device.
Add Device: Click the three dots or lines menu icon on the top right of the app homepage and select ‘Add device’.
Enter Share Code: Choose ‘AirVisual Pro’ and enter the share code you received.
Access Data: Click the link provided by your friend to follow their device and view the shared air quality data.
