+
+    \since 6.0
+
+    Attaches a failure handler to this future, to handle any exceptions that may
+    have been generated. Returns a QFuture of the parent type. The handler will
+    be invoked only in case of an exception, in the same thread as the parent
+    future has been running. \a handler is a callable which takes either no argument
+    or one argument, to filter by specific error types similar to
+    \l {https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/try_catch} {catch} statement.
+
+    For example:
+
+    \code
+    QFuture<int> future = ...;
+    auto resultFuture = future.then([](int res) {
+        ...
+        throw Error();
+        ...
+    }).onFailed([](const Error &e) {
+        // Handle exceptions of type Error
+        ...
+        return -1;
+    }).onFailed([] {
+        // Handle all other types of errors
+        ...
+        return -1;
+    });
+
+    auto result = resultFuture.result(); // result is -1
+
+    \endcode
+
+    If there are multiple handlers attached, the first handler that matches with the
+    thrown exception type will be invoked. For example:
+
+    \code
+    QFuture<int> future = ...;
+    future.then([](int res) {
+        ...
+        throw std::runtime_error("message");
+        ...
+    }).onFailed([](const std::exception &e) {
+        // This handler will be invoked
+    }).onFailed([](const std::runtime_error &e) {
+        // This handler won't be invoked, because of the handler above.
+    });
+    \endcode
+
+    If none of the handlers matches with the thrown exception type, the exception
+    will be propagated to the resulted future:
+
+    \code
+    QFuture<int> future = ...;
+    auto resultFuture = future.then([](int res) {
+        ...
+        throw Error("message");
+        ...
+    }).onFailed([](const std::exception &e) {
+        // Won't be invoked
+    }).onFailed([](const QException &e) {
+        // Won't be invoked
+    });
+
+    try {
+        auto result = resultFuture.result();
+    } catch(...) {
+        // Handle the exception
+    }
+    \endcode
+
+    \note You can always attach a handler taking no argument, to handle all exception
+    types and avoid writing the try-catch block.
+
+    \sa then()
