Why is the QR Code scanner on iPhone now trying charging $35 a month?

QR code scanner is trying to charge $35 per month for simply scanning a QR code. When you try to use the scanner you are redirected to QR.IO. This is a no go! Deleting the app immediately. Has the app been hacked?

You installed a third-party app who has in-app purchases set by the maker of the app. The maker of the app is not Apple. You can use Apple's QR code reader free following Learn gestures for iPhone models with Face ID - Apple Support
