How to scan a QR code

  1. Start the camera and point it at the code, or switch to Image and drop, choose or paste a picture or screenshot of it.
  2. See what the code holds, explained: a link, a Wi-Fi network, a contact, an email, a text message, a phone number or a place.
  3. Copy it, or open the link when you've checked its address.

Questions

Can I scan a QR code from a screenshot?

Yes, paste the screenshot or drop the image: handy for codes on your own screen.

Is it safe to scan unknown QR codes?

A link's address is shown first and opened only when you click it, so you can check where it leads.

Does it read barcodes too?

In Chrome, Edge and on Android, the browser's own reader also reads barcodes; elsewhere it reads QR codes.

Are my camera and images private?

Yes, codes are read in your browser; nothing from the camera or your images is sent anywhere.
