How To Scan Qr Codes On Your Google Pixel Phone

Method 1: Scan QR Code Using Camera App

The Camera app on your Google Pixel phone is one of the fundamental means to scan a QR code. Here’s how you can do it.

Method 2: Scan QR Using Google Lens

Just like the Pixel camera, you can scan QR code using Google Lens. Not only that, you can also scan existing QR codes from your gallery.

Method 3: Scan QR Code Using Lock Screen Shortcut

Pixels and most Android devices come with lock screen shortcuts. On Pixels, one of the shortcuts you can choose is a QR scanner. Here’s how to set it up:

Method 4: Scan QR Code From Pixel Quick Settings

Launching the QR Code scanner from Quick Settings is a good alternative to lockscreen shortcuts. Here’s how to set up a QR code scanner in Quick Settings.

Method 5: Scan QR Code Using Google Photos App

Google Photos comes with built-in lens integration, making it easier to scan QR codes using the same. Another reason to use Google Photos is when the QR code is saved in a photo.

Method 6: Scan QR Using Google Assistant

The Google Assistant can scan QR codes with ease by identifying them if they’re on the screen. Unfortunately, Gemini still cannot do this, so if your work often requires you to scan QR codes, switching to Google Assistant can make the process a lot easier.

Circle to search is an excellent tool to quickly search what’s on your screen. Out of all the things it can do, it can also help you scan QR codes with ease. The feature is available on all Pixel devices starting Pixel 6.
