Hi there,


We understand you're trying to read a QR code on your iPhone SE.


It looks like you've already reviewed Scan a QR code with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


Specifically, check out the detail below:

"Select the rear facing camera. Hold your device so that the QR code appears in the viewfinder in the Camera app. Your device recognizes the QR code and shows a notification."


The QR code would need to be viewable by the camera on your device in order to access the associated link.


We hope this helps.
