Step 1: Open the Camera App

Position your phone over the code and wait for it to scan.  Ensure that your hands are steady until you get a clear reading of the QR code on iPhone. Make sure you allow the app to pick up all the information stored in the code.

Step 2: Take Action

As soon as your iPhone reads and recognizes the QR code data,a notification will pop up. Just click on it. In a situation where a notification fails to show up, try to move closer to have a clear focus.

Bottom Line

Scanning QR Codes on Apple devices is nowadays easier than ever. The only problem is that you can’t save or view a history of your scanned codes.

Pageloot QR code scanner is one of the best solutions. You don’t need to download any apps, it’s user-friendly and 100% free. You can use it on any platform. It saves your QR scan history for viewing later. If you scan with your phone’s camera app it doesn’t record a history list.

Enable QR Code scanning on iPhone

It’s possible to download a QR code scanner from the App Store. If you wish to go that route, but be careful and selective and go only for the best scanners. Many of these apps can trick you into paid subscriptions, so you should be careful.

App Store – QR Code & Barcode Scanner Apps

Here are some of the best QR Code scanning apps that we recommend downloading from the App Store:

QR Code Reader by TinyLab

By far the most popular app on the App Store, rated #7 in utilities and with over 80k ratings. Free to download but be careful not to opt into their paid subscription.

It has less ratings than the first option, but if you are looking for something more aesthetically pleasing, then this the app for you. Functionally both do the same job very well for both Barcodes and QR Codes.

Using QR Codes for Business & Marketing?

QR codes can contain the contact details of a company such as the URL address and email. They can also be used to initiate various actions.

You can also find the company’s phone number and physical address. Some QR codes found in clothing could also contain information about the owner. Manufacturers can apply this ingenious technology to a lot of sectors and industries.

Many manufacturers prefer QR codes to standard barcodes. They can store more information such as geo coordinates, text and URL links. The other benefit is that smartphones can scan the information on those codes.
