1 month ago 11

To scan a QR code, follow these steps based on your device type:

Open the Camera app from the Home Screen, Lock Screen, or Control Center.
Point your device so the QR code appears in the camera viewfinder.
Your device will automatically recognize the QR code and show a notification.
Tap the notification to open the link or information embedded in the QR code.
Alternatively, you can use the Code Scanner tool by adding it to Control Center for quick access

Open the Camera app and point it at the QR code.
Wait for the camera to detect the QR code; a notification will appear.
Tap the notification to access the content linked to the QR code.
You can also swipe down from the top of the screen to access Quick Settings and tap the QR scanner icon if available.
If your phone does not have a built-in scanner, you can download apps like Google Lens to scan QR codes.
For QR codes already on your screen (like in images or emails), some Android devices support a feature called Circle to Search, which lets you scan QR codes by circling them with your finger

Open the Camera app and point it at the QR code.
The QR code will be read automatically; tap the pop-up message to open the link.
You can also swipe down to access Quick Settings and tap “Scan QR code.”
If scanning doesn’t work, enable it in Camera settings under “Scan QR codes.”
Use Bixby Vision by opening it and scanning the QR code for additional options.
If you have a saved QR code image, open it in the Gallery app and tap the Bixby Vision button to scan

Upload a QR code image file or paste the URL of the QR code image into an online QR code scanner website.
The tool will decode the QR code and display the information or link.
This method works on any device with internet access and does not require installing an app

These methods cover most devices and scenarios for scanning QR codes quickly and easily.
