QR code window disapears

Using my iPhone, I swipe from the top right to scan a QR during a live presentation, it took me to an URL.


Then I swipe up from the bottom of the screen, to look something up in a dicctionary app that I wanted to type in the questionaire shown from that URL and as I swip from the bottom to return to the Opened URL.. oh wait, it's gone?!


Where is the session of the camera gone that opened the URL via the QR code? Have now lost the URL and the QR? There is no history of scanned QR or similar?

afostias ~ AFAIK there is no history. But if you're willing to learn new things, Apple's Shortcuts app can give you more control over QR codes. The following custom shortcut copies the QR code's URL to the Clipboard. But it could be enhanced to also append the URL along with the QR code itself to Notes:
