Use this guide to understand how can you scan any QR Code, including the QR Codes generated using the web application Scanova QR Code Generator.
Many smartphones (such as Xiaomi, Motorola, iPhone, and Samsung) now come with inbuilt QR Code scanner in their stock camera app. To see if your smartphone has a QR Code scanner, open your phone's camera and hold it in front of the QR Code. If you get a pop-up showing a link/some text, the QR Code has been scanned.
Even if your phone doesn't have QR Code scanning feature, you can install a third-party QR Code scanning application.
We recommend using the following:
a. iOS: i-nigma, Zapper, QR Code Reader by Scan
b. Android: i-nigma, Zapper , QR Code Reader by Scan
c. Windows: i-nigma , Zapper, Scan – QR Code and Barcode Reader
Once you have downloaded an app, follow these simple steps:
-
Open the scanning app
-
Your phone camera will activate and prompt you to point your device at the QR Code. The app will automatically read the QR Code and decode it
-
The app will reveal the information and prompt you take action (open URL in browser, dial phone number, save contact, send email, send text, etc.)
