Version 5 of Samsung Internet introduced an in-built QR code scanner. To use it:

1. Tap the settings button (to the right of the address bar) and select ‘Extensions’.
2. If ‘QR code reader’ is not already enabled, tap on it to switch it on.
3. The QR code scanner will now be available via the menu. Tap the settings button and select ‘Scan QR code’.
4. Position the QR code you wish to scan within the square displayed on your screen to scan it. It will be detected automatically.

Notes

• For QR codes that contain a URL, the URL will open up directly in the browser.
• For QR codes containing text, the text will be displayed on a ‘Scan result’ page. You can double-tap or press-and-hold to copy and paste it somewhere.
• The scanner also works with barcodes. It will automatically search for the barcode number in your default search engine.
