I get the response saying use the QR code below…. But only a cancel and OK button with no sign of the QR code.
what am I doing wrong?
That's not an Apple app, you're using, so reach out to the app developer for help with their product. I'm honestly not sure why you need to QR your Wifi, when your phone has HotSpot capability. But again, you'll need to contact whoever makes this app for help.

The shortcut you’re using seems to be failing for you, but the same shortcut is working here.
The following results are from iPadOS 16.5.1 with the current Shortcuts app in use:
Check for an update for iOS or iPadOS update. Check for updates for the Shortcuts app, too.
PS: The generated QR might not be entirely correct for WPA3, FWIW. See chapter 7 here:
Where exactly is this happening? Typically, you use the camera in your iPhone to scan a QR code, which leads you to the QR code destination. One can't honestly do anything with a QR code, which might appear on your iPhone screen.
See this about using your iPhone camera to scan a QR code --> Scan a QR code with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Depends on the context. If you buy a movie ticket online, and the site sends you an e-mail with a QR code (for you to show to the ticket taker at the theater), you could print the e-mail (and take the printed code with you to the theater), or show the ticket-taker the QR code in the e-mail on your phone.
The ticket taker would then point their own scanning device at the piece of paper or the iPhone screen to scan that QR code and confirm that you had purchased a ticket.
darn it 😂
thought I was replying to a user asking about the Shortcut that creates a wifi QR code (QR your Wi-Fi). The resulting message has no QR code image and I think it should
Thanks for the reply but it IS the Apple stored Shortcut I am using
The reason for QR is so that guests can access the Wi-Fi easily. Same principle as guest Wi-Fi in offices for example so non permanent users needing access can just use a printed QR
Yes, that's true, but that's not what the OP is referring to here.
It may be a shortcut you're using, but again, it's NOT an Apple app you're using the shortcut with.
You can make the QR scan by the control center. But you most setting the control center first. On setting you can make the QR Code scanner show (in control panel setting)
sory for bad english
Looks to be the case. I’ll have to investigate root cause further as app and iOS are up to date. Appreciate the response!
I don’t get it … but I’ll go investigate and figure it out. First time using shortcuts and just used the shortcut provided OOTB by Apple.
Where does the QR code display?
