How to Scan a QR Code in a Picture or Photo on Your iPhone Screen
QR codes have become increasingly popular in recent years, allowing users to quickly access websites, apps, and other information by scanning a code with their smartphone. While most QR codes are designed to be scanned directly from a physical object, such as a poster or flyer, in some cases you may need to scan a QR code from a picture or photo on your iPhone screen. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Open the Camera app on your iPhone
The first step is to open the Camera app on your iPhone. This is the default app that comes installed on all iPhone devices, and it’s what you’ll use to scan the QR code.
Step 2: Point the Camera at the QR code
Next, point your Camera at the QR code that you want to scan. If the QR code is on a physical object, hold your iPhone up to the code from a distance of about 8-10 inches. If the QR code is on a picture or photo on your iPhone screen, make sure the screen is bright and the code is clear and in focus.
Step 3: Wait for the Camera to recognize the QR code
Once you’ve pointed your Camera at the QR code, wait for the Camera to recognize it. This should only take a few seconds, and you’ll see a notification appear on the screen letting you know that the Camera has recognized a QR code.
Step 4: Tap the notification to open the link or app
Finally, tap the notification to open the link or app associated with the QR code. This will take you directly to the website, app, or other information that the code is linked to.
