How to Scan a QR Code

Use your phone's built-in camera to scan any QR code in seconds — no app needed.

  1. Open your camera app

    On both iPhone and Android, just open the default Camera app. No need to download a separate QR scanner.

  2. Point your camera at the QR code

    Hold your phone steady so the QR code is clearly visible on screen. Keep it within about 6-12 inches and make sure there's no glare blocking it.

  3. Tap the link that appears

    A banner or notification will pop up at the top or bottom of the screen with the QR code's destination. Tap it to open. On some Android phones, you may need to enable "Scan QR codes" in your camera settings first (Settings > Camera > Scan QR codes).
