Camera does not read QR Codes

My iPhone 11 Camera doesn't seem to read QR Codes anymore. My wife and kids phones can recognize QR codes without issue but when I try the same codes with my phone the message comes up saying "No usable data found". I have cleaned the lenses, turned off and on the "Scan QR Codes" function. Re-started the phone many times and still nothing. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

My iPhone's camera is not working correctly and it looks blurred I have a 14Pro with iOS 6.1.1 and every 3rd party app I have for scanning barcodes (including Amazon Shopping app) is having issues with focus/zoom view. When the barcode is in the optimal scanning distance or about 2" away (compared to iPhone 12 or my Android phone), it is blurry and cannot be decoded by the 14Pro camera. To get the barcode in focus, the phone needs to be about 5-6" away, but at that distance some of the high density codes (QR Code and Datamatrix) cannot be decoded as they are too far.

iOS 16 issues with camera Anyone else having issues with the camera post iOS 16 update? I have an iPhone 13 pro max and noticed after I updated, my camera quality got significantly worse. Pictures look blurry and low resolution, and I've tried everything from resetting the phone to downloading third party camera apps. Both front and back cameras just took a massive hit in quality. Even worse is I updated to 16.0.2 and somehow the quality got even worse. I'm wondering if anyone has the same issue and was able to fix it?
