How to Scan QR Code with iPhone is straightforward once you use the current iPhone controls. The exact wording can vary slightly by iOS version, carrier, and iPhone model.
- Open the Camera app.
- Point the rear camera at the QR code so the entire code is visible.
- Wait for the link or action banner to appear.
- Tap the banner to open the recognized content.
You can also add Code Scanner to Control Center for a dedicated scanner. Check the destination before opening an unfamiliar QR-code link.
Before making the change, make sure the iPhone is running a current iOS release and that you know any passcode, Apple Account, carrier, or app credentials the feature may require. If the labels on your screen do not exactly match these steps, use Settings search to find the named feature rather than choosing a similarly named control. Apple occasionally moves settings between iOS releases.
