# Get Instance Status

**there are 7 instance statuses** 

1. `initialize` when the instance is being initialized and not ready yet to get the QR code.
2. `qr` ( when instance generating qr, this status only appears when you are logged out)
3. `loading_screen` (this status appears while  scanning QR and loading data )
4. `authenticated` ( this status appears before the instance becomes `ready` status )
5. `ready` ( this status appears when the instance is ready to send & receive messages after QR scanned )
6. `disconnected` ( this status appears when you are logged out from your device/phone )
7. `auth_failure` ( this status appears when the instance failure to authenticate your device for any reason )
