With the iPhone camera, you can not only take photos, but also read and decode QR codes. We'll show you what you need.
Read and decode QR codes with an iPhone camera
By default, you cannot decrypt QR codes with your iPhone and iPad. For this you need an additional app like "QuickMark".
- Install the free app on your smartphone and start the tool.
- If you then hold the QR code in front of the iPhone camera, the app will decrypt the code within a few seconds.
- You can then view the content of the code or open the URL behind it.
Alternative iPhone apps for QR codes
In addition to "QuickMark", there are numerous other free apps with which you can read QR codes. The tools all work similarly:
- With the alternative "QR code scanner" for iOS you can even save your scans for a long time.
- The free "Norton Snap QR Code Reader" provides the necessary security when scanning: If the code or the homepage behind it contains a virus, the app will inform you of the security risk before opening.
- With the free scanner "i-nigma" you can also decrypt barcodes and create your own QR codes.
