How to Scan QR codes
On iPhone
If you’re running iOS 11 or later, the camera automatically supports WiFi QR scanning, all you need to do is open the camera app and place it infront of the QR code. Alternatively you can download the QR Reader for iPhone app or the Avira QR Code Barcode Scanner for other iOS systems.
On Android
Certain phone models come with a built in QR code scanner in HiVision mode. For example on Huawei devices this mode is represented by an eye-shaped icon and can be found by swiping up from the lock screen or in the camera. For all other models the Barcode Scanner app works very well or the NeoReader QR & Barcode Scanner app is also a good alternative.
