How to scan a QR code with your phone camera

Most Android phones let you scan QR codes right from the camera app or Google Lens without downloading anything extra. Point your camera at the code for 2 seconds and a link will appear on your screen. Tap it to open it.

Android phones have a built-in QR code scanner that's part of your camera. You just point your camera at the code, wait a moment, and a notification pops up with what the code links to. It's quick and safe. The scanner reads the code without opening any links until you tap one yourself.
