It seems me LG G5 camera app doesn't have QR-scan capability; however, your good/clear presentation enabled me to clearly see this (so, although my cam doesn't scan, I thank you for allowing me to figure this out easily.)
I have the QR Code scanner app installed on my phone. My camera has the Scan QR Code enables. When I point my phone with camera open on a QR Code what I get is my phone taking an image of the QR Code and then it saves it to my Gallery on my phone. I don't get a URL or other type of link to view the info in the QR Code. The strange part is that my wife gets upset that it doesn't work for me then she grabs my phone...points it at the QR Code...and the link from the QR Code is displayed and she can view the information. Why does it NOT work for me but it works for my wife? Even you in your video had to attempt to scan the QR Code 3 or 4 times to get it to work so...
You don't need the QR Code App, that's what he's showing us! Last thing I need is yet another app on my phone - that's when your phone starts acting stupid. This is so simple and at my age - over 50 - well over 50 if I can figure it out YOU can figure it out. YES it's that simple!
If you do indeed need a QR Scanner Code App, you can find many in your Google Play Store. I was able to scan with my new Moto G, however, I was playing with different settings to get the best pictures for April 8th,2024, Total Solar Eclipse and ever since playing with the settings it's no longer scanning. BTW, yes, I protected my Moto G camera with a special film to cover and protect it, therefore, that isn't the issue since I know at least one person thinks that I didn't do this and ruined the camera.
How do you scan qr code while on the phone? What if someone doesn't have 2 phones? For example, when a website is giving u a qr code and u need to scan the code thats on your phone screen? TIA!
I have the Moto G Stylus 2021 smartphone, and the feature that you show in this video doesn't come with my camera's feature, so I had to download "Google Lens" Melvin - Tuesday, October 24, 2023 - 11:32 AM - Colorado Springs, Colorado
Hmm. I can't make it work. I'm either an idiot or my phone doesn't have an option for scanning QR things. (codes?) Technology seems to not like me a bit. Also.. just in case I search for other helpful things on youtube and you pop up.. could you maybe slow down your speaking? Your voice is clear, nice tone etc. it's just difficult to understand some words.. not because of an accent or anything.. your just talk fast.. or I hear slow. thank you for taking time to help people. Wish this one could've helped me.
@charlesschmidt849 0 seconds ago This works for the Samsung A02S. Your model phone might use something similar with the QR code setting in the WIFI menu: Samsung A02S QR code setting: If you're connected to the web using WIFI, go to 'Settings' on the main menu and choose 'WIFI'. In the top right corner of the WIFI screen, right beside the three dots, is what looks like a letter X with dot in the middle. If you look closer, that little icon is the QR code icon. Turn it on... Then, view a QR code in the camera and it will automatically scan it.
Oh my good Lord, it's a short video. Did you know you can stop a video and rewind & start again (HINT: Just tap on the screen). I'm over 50 years old by a big chunk of time and if I can follow these instructions, get this to work and not screw up my phone all you 'under my age-ers' should be able to grasp his instructions - it really is easy - I'm not kidding!
Misleading info. I have a Samsung phone, running latest android, and camera mode and settings, and there is no setting for Scan QR codes, because the app does not support it. Point being, no, this does not work on "ANY" android.
My phone camera also doesn't a setting for QR codes. It's very easy to google QR apps and download one that is free. Once it's downloaded, an icon will appear on your phone menu page. Very easy. (I rarely use it anyway.)
Hey Joe, neither could I find the feature on my smartphone, I have the Moto G Stylus 2021 smartphone. I had to download "Google Lens" so that I can scan OR Codes and other stuff. I hope what I have written here helps you.
I have scan qr code turned on and the white window comes up but, it takes me to an error code message instead of the site (which is ikea so it should work?
I have a Motorola G7 play. It doesn't seem to have the ability to scan and the apps available all want my credit card info. Are there any apps that just scan? I'm not giving my CC info to strangers.
In down town, theres a parking lot with a qr code. I don't know how to use my camera so that I may park there, to pay. What happens when I scan the qr code? Do I need my credit card ready? Thank you.
I like your voice, and your explanations are clear, simple and precise. there are so many people who do tutorials and speak with a bad & strong accent making their explanations too complicated and incomprehensible, that's why I appreciate you, you are like a breath of fresh air, thanx again xo btw, forgive my bad English writing, I am French, merci.
So I want to scan a qr code into my phone that is on my screen and not somewhere else outside of my phone. How do I get a qr code from some website I am using scanned into my phone? From my phone? Thanks much in advance
I'm not technically inclined but try the icon which may be at the left of your camera, that is where it is on mine. It will open a Google search option which you need to take a picture of and many things show up which are similar to what you are seeing on your phone. As I said, I'm not sure if this will help you but give it a try - I know that this is a feature which all android models have. Good luck.
I have an LG Tracfone that's several years old, and it was on mine. After I went to my camera settings, it was the second option under "Useful Features."
When I press the gear the only thing that pops up are cheese shutter (whatever that is?), tag locations, and grid. Where can I find this?? Please help? Ughhh!

Not necessarily. I think its fair to assume your model is within the decade when watching new videos. I can't believe how many people on here have phones 10-15 years old upset he didn't explain this feature was created & updated on current recent years. 😂😂
I cannot tell what you were saying after "And this is very important" at 0:30 so I have decided to look for another instruction video. Enunciate clearly.
@theamerican4609 Opened camera, put camera on QR code and the code came up, clicked photo and the address/link came up. No other app used to scan the code.

Does NOT work on ANY android phone as your title says.....Galaxy S8+ Android 8.0 it does not have QR code option in camera settings.
neither does the s9 and s9+
I know I'm late asf but if you haven't figured it out yet you have to install a qr reader I got a galaxy too
Works for most Android phones made in this decade.

You'll have to download an app. This is a bad tutorial.
If you don't have it already download Google Lens, then press the option 'Search', and the you just point your camera at the QR code.

Use Google Lens if your phone doesn't have the QR scanner.
Which of your phones is the new and which is the old? Trying to figure out which of my phones I'm supposed to scan TO and FROM
My settings don't have that option, its such bullshit that the menus aren't universal.
The Scan QR codes does not come up in the list of options for me. Any other ideas where it could be located?

Does Huawei Y7 Prime support the use of qr codes?
I'm now lost, how did you make your phone by showing the barcode because I've been trying and failed
Does it work on the screen shot of qr code
But what if a website posts a qr code? How do you scan that?
Next time, please tell us the minumum version of Android these instructions are valid for.

Worked perfect on Samsung Galaxy S21. Thanks.
Not mine. Mine doesn't show "Format and advanced options". What did you press after you checked "Scan QR codes" is on?
