Pavel Jelic Scanning QR codes couldn't be easier. Apple decided to implement this smart gadget directly into the Camera application. Thus, any possibility of having to unnecessarily download third-party applications for scanning QR codes from the App Store is excluded. Everything now works absolutely flawlessly directly through the Camera application. So today we'll show you how.

Fine, but iOS 11 does not support Czech when reading a QR code... So for contacts written in the QR code in Czech (and not only in Czech), I prefer to still use the great App Barcode.
I wonder why, even if I enable it in the settings, the camera does not offer it. And that's my last real apple phone - SE.
I only have the QR code on the phone, on the display.. not outside the phone, so I can't scan it with the camera.. is there a way so I don't have to have it outside the phone? dix
