How to scan a QR code with your phone
Briefly

QR codes, originally created in the 1990s for tracking car parts, saw a resurgence during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the demand for contactless technology. They are now commonly used for various tasks like ordering food, accessing Wi-Fi, and verifying identity. A phone camera can read QR codes, which hold up to 3KB of data, often in the form of links or contact information. While convenient, they also pose security risks due to potential scams that may redirect users to fake websites.
You don't need an app for this - your phone can do it already.
The humble QR (or Quick Response) code has become ubiquitous.
If you come across a QR code you want to read, you've got everything you need right on your phone.
