Scanning QR Codes

With iOS 11 Apple added QR Code support so you can scan QR codes directly in the Camera app, without the need for a third-party app as previously.

Open the Camera app and make sure the rear facing camera is enabled. Point the camera at the QR code. Make sure the code is entirely visible in the view finder. Hold the camera steady. The QR code will be scanned instantly and you'll see a notification at the top of the iPhone or iPad screen describing what kind of QR code you've scanned (website QR Code, Calendar QR code, etc).| You'll see what action the QR code can perform (add event to your calendar, open page in Safari). You don't have to press the capture or shutter button. Just pointing the camera and holding it steady at the QR code is all you need to do.
