How to scan a qr code on an android phone

Go to Settings. Select System Apps. Tap on Camera. Then toggle to enable Scan QR codes.

Does Android have an in-built QR Code reader? Yes. Just like iPhones, Android 9 (Android Pie) and Android 10 have an in-built QR Code reader. Even the Android 8 or Oreo does not need an app to scan QR Codes.

If your Android device is not scanning a QR code, make sure the code is properly framed on your screen. Cleaning your camera lens and getting better lighting on the code are other potential solutions. You can also try using Google Lens or a third-party QR code app.

Open your camera app and point at a QR code and tap on the popup. If you don't get this notification, you need to turn on the feature. Open Camera settings and toggle on Scan QR codes.
