Users can now scan QR codes saved as screenshots on both Android and iOS devices. This feature eliminates the need to utilize the camera for scanning QR codes, simplifying the overall user experience.
To scan a QR code that is saved, iPhone users can take a screenshot by pressing the wake button and volume up at the same time. After navigating to the screenshot in the gallery, a QR code badge appears, allowing users to click through to the link.
Android users can capture a QR code screenshot by pressing the power button and volume down simultaneously. In the image gallery, selecting the screenshot then allows the user to click the Lens icon, effectively scanning the code.
For select Android devices like Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy, users can also leverage the Circle to Search feature to scan QR codes without the camera. This feature is typically enabled by default but can be toggled in the device's settings if needed.
