Mastering QR Codes: A Quick Guide
I’ve been creating QR Codes since 2012, helping individuals and businesses learn how to scan and generate their own codes. This simple process connects physical materials to digital content, making it perfect for any organization. Thanks to the pandemic, scanning QR Codes has become second nature for many — just point your camera, and you’re done. And for those with older phones, a free app makes it just as easy.
The infographic below outlines how to use a QR Code scanner.
How to Scan QR Codes with Your Phone Camera
To scan a QR code with your new phone, simply open the Camera app from the Home Screen, Control Centre, or Lock Screen. Make sure the rear-facing camera is selected, and position your device so the QR code appears in the camera viewfinder. Your device will automatically detect the QR code and display a notification.
Tap on the pop-up notification to view the content in your default browser or app. If you don’t see the option to scan, go to Settings > System Apps > Camera, and enable the “Scan QR codes” option.
Once activated, you can easily scan QR codes anytime by just pointing your camera at them!
Stay Safe with Kaspersky’s QR Code Scanner
Kaspersky’s QR Code Scanner prioritizes security, protecting you from dangerous links and malware often hidden in rogue QR codes. When you first open the app, you’ll see its focus on safeguarding your device from phishing traps. Unlike many QR scanners, Kaspersky scans and stores your QR codes while ensuring the content is safe before displaying it.
While the app’s scanning speed may be slightly slower due to the security checks, the trade-off is worth it for users who value protection. Although it lacks an instant sharing feature, it allows you to copy and share links later. For those prioritizing security over speed, Kaspersky’s QR Code Scanner is a top choice.
