No, you don't need a special app to scan QR codes on iPhone. Just open the Camera app on your iPhone, point at the QR code, and tap the notification that appears.

Apparently not!


1. Camera app (the best free QR scanner for iPhone & iPad)

Yes, although it may sound too good to be true, the best free QR scanner for iPhone is its default Camera app. Starting with iOS 11, the Camera app can also scan QR codes, and, in our opinion, it’s the best free QR reader for iPhone.

Are you wondering how to scan QR codes on an iPhone? All you need to do is open the Camera app and point towards the QR code you want to read. Once the Camera identifies the code, you should see a notification displayed on your screen, telling you what information that QR code holds.
