COVID-19 Accelerated the Rise of QR Code Scanners
The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped the way businesses operate, pushing digital transformation to the forefront. One of the most notable shifts was the widespread adoption of QR code scanners—once a niche tool, now a necessity for contactless interactions.
From restaurants and retail stores to healthcare and corporate environments, QR codes provided a seamless way to share information, process payments, and enhance customer experiences while maintaining safety protocols. Most of the modern phones have QR code scanners built into the camera.
How to Scan a QR Code
Open the QR Code scanner or camera on your phone.
Hold your device over a QR Code so that it’s clearly visible within your smartphone’s screen. Two things can happen when you correctly hold your smartphone over a QR Code. The phone automatically scans the code. If necessary, press the button. Presto!
If it does not work with your camera you can simple download any of the free QR code scanners from the Apple or Google store. Here are a few we recommend:
Kaspersky QR Scanner – This scanner might only read QR codes, but it provides security and will protect you from malicious online sites containing unsafe QR code data links that could expose you to viruses and malware.
QR Code Reader by Scan – This scanner instantly recognizes QR codes and barcodes, making it a go-to choice for users looking for a simple, no-frills experience. The app also supported scanning from images and allowed users to save scan history for future reference.
QR Code Reader & QR Scanner by QR Code Scanner (iPhone) – This scanner instantly scans and decodes QR codes for websites, Wi-Fi, contacts, and more. The app also featured a built-in flashlight for scanning in low-light conditions, making it a practical choice for iPhone users who needed a reliable QR scanner.
