Scan a QR Code on Android – Camera, Lens or Quick Settings

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Most Android phones read QR codes in the camera app: point it at the code and tap the link. If not, use Google Lens from the camera or the Google app, or add the Scan QR code tile to Quick Settings by swiping down and editing the tiles, available on Android 13 and later. For a code in a screenshot or photo, open it in Google Photos and tap Lens, or open this page, choose the image and read it, including Wi-Fi details.
