How to Scan QR Codes on Your Android Smartphone

A Quick Response code, or more popularly known as QR code, has been around for years, but you might see its rapid adoption owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thankfully, most smartphones these days already come pre-loaded with QR scanning capabilities natively through the camera app; however, there are plenty of options available with third-party apps. Similarly, Android users can scan QR codes via the native camera app or Google Lens that comes loaded out-of-the-box. Notably, Samsung users would need to enable Bixby Vision within the camera to scan QR codes. If old Android smartphone users are unable to scan via their native camera app, they can check out free apps on Google Play such as QR & Barcode Scanner and QR Code Reader and Scanner.
