My iphone 15 won't scan QR codes

Hello,


Ever since I got my last iPhone (14pm) I have had this issue.


I thought it would be solved but it's a full year later and my new iPhone (15 pro max) still cannot scan QR codes.


This is exclusively for IN APP QR code scanning.


For example, to setup a wifi device on my home network, google has me scan the QR code of the router.


When I open the qr scanner in the google app, the camera is unfocused and blurry. Leaving it unable to scan the qr code.


Sometimes, If I back psychically back the phone up away from the code, it can scan. However, most of the time, this trick doesn't work as it's far too small/far away from the QR code to accurately scan it.


What is going on?


When will this be fixed?

I can confirm that I have the same issue. I tried scanning barcode via Discogs using my iPhone 11 and it captured it instantly. However using my iPhone 15 Pro, the focus on the barcode is blurry and even after I get a clear view of the barcode, it still won’t read it. Sucks.
