Can someone do a quit tip or podcast on this?

Hi all. If someone has a minute, could they do a podcast on scanning a QR code? I'm putting this on the IOS side of things but if someone can do a Mac one also that would be appreciated. I tried to scan a QR code for my Apple ID and it found the code on my screen saying "Detected" over and over but nothing seems to do the trick. I got past it with the password so that's no worry. Just want to do it better. Thanks

Hi,

The iOS Code Scanner is actually pretty good. Assuming the code you are scanning is clear and there is no 'noise' interference such a screen glare, etc. Not sure what to tell you about using a Mac to scan them as I do not even know where the camera is located on those. 🫀

For iOS though, its pretty straight-forward.

1. Open Control Center.
2. At the bottom of your screen you should have an option called 'Code Scanner', double tap this.
3. Point the back-facing camera at the code you want to scan.
5. Usually takes a few seconds if your having a good day.
5. Win.

HTH. πŸ˜ƒ

I was hoping to write a letter with them just for you. That would be interesting.

The Irish in me despises the "y" you put in my name. Even typos of my name should not have a "y" !!
I am afraid, you will be visited upon by a πŸ‘™ clad πŸ‘Ί wielding a πŸͺ .

You wrote "quit tip," rather than "quick tip," in the title of the thread.
I recall a university professor ranting for about twenty minutes in a Shakespeare course about someone writing the plural "witches" in one of the papers on Macbeth, when it should have been the possessive "witch's," then slapping my paper down on the table in front of me. It only got worse from there...

Don't even get me started on a certain American Literature prof. from my past, who threatened to expose me for plagiarism because I missed a f**king (comma) in a citation......
