You can scan QR codes in seconds, with automatic content detection that recognizes links, Wi‑Fi networks, contacts, text, and more, and lets you instantly perform quick actions like opening a URL or copying information. The app also supports recognition from images, so you can scan codes directly from your photo library as well as through the camera with flash support in low light. Every scan is saved to a detailed history, and you can mark important codes as favorites for faster access whenever you need them. QR Code Scans includes a built‑in QR generator that lets you create your own codes and customize them with different styles and designs before saving or sharing. Your data can be protected with password or Face ID lock, keeping sensitive codes and history private on your device.
