You have several options for QR code scanning with a Samsung smartphone. With newer devices, all you need is the camera app.
- Open the camera app to scan a QR code. To do this, you can either click on the camera icon or press the Off key twice in quick succession.
- Hold the camera directly over the code. Once the camera has captured the code, it will read it out automatically.
- A pop-up window will open. Click on it to display the information embedded in the code.
If you cannot scan the QR code with your Samsung device, the function may not be activated. In this case, go to your camera settings and enable “Scan QR codes”. Usually, Samsung turns this function on by default.
Alternatively, open the Samsung Internet app. This may work for older models.
- Select the Samsung Internet app.
- To open the menu, click on the icon with three dashes that is located in the bottom right corner.
- Select “Settings”.
- Select “Adjust menu”.
- Press and hold the icon for the QR scanner and drag it to your menu.
- Try opening your browser again and open the scanner via the menu in the bottom right.
