iPhone camera no longer scans QR code I had no issue until the latest update of the phone. Camera no longer is scanning QR codes which is very frustrating. I have checked camera setting and QR code scanning is enabled. I’m pretty convinced it’s something to do with a recent update as my kids haven’t updated their phone and they can still scan the QR codes. Where is the point of updating the phone to fix bugs when they are actually being created? Every time I update my phone something what was working fine suddenly stops working correctly. Apple get a grip on your software, your quality is getting worse.. Fix this bug as soon as possible in the next update as QR code scanning is needed!

Open the Code Scanner from Control Center

Go to Settings > Control Center, then tap. next to Code Scanner.
Open Control Center, tap the Code Scanner, then position iPhone so that the code appears on the screen.
