There is also a way to identify the QR code without scanning the code, that is, the photos already stored in the mobile phone or the photos containing the QR code forwarded by friends. At this time, you can directly click on the photo and select "Identify the QR code in the picture" in the pop-up option menu to directly identify and open the QR code information.
What if Safari browser in iPhone doesn't have QR code scanning function?
At present, most websites have corresponding apps, which are the main product forms to be promoted. Put an APP introduction page in official website. The main purpose of this page is to let users turn on their mobile phones to scan QR codes and download them.
Since domestic WeChat covers almost every online user, the "sweep" function in WeChat has become the main tool for QR code scanning.
However, the built-in browser of WeChat prohibits downloading and installing the Android APK package, and the IPA package digitally signed by Apple Enterprise cannot be downloaded and installed. The product manager has to find a way to bypass WeChat and let the page recognize WeChat. Whenever the WeChat browser opens a page, it will automatically give a prompt to guide the user to open it with other browsers in the mobile phone.
IPhone phones are usually opened with Safari. In fact, if Safari browser has QR code scanning function, it is much more convenient to scan and download the APP. There are a large number of QR codes on the Internet in China, which can only be scanned by WeChat.
Let's look at European and American products. Chrome browser also has no QR code scanning function. One explanation is that the awareness of QR codes in Europe and America is extremely low and they are not popular. It seems reasonable.
Then, we simply investigated the browser products developed for iPhone in China. In addition to 360 browser, other browsers such as QQ browser, UC browser, Cheetah browser and Baidu browser have obvious QR code scanning function in the address bar.
In order to keep the iOS system clean and tidy, I generally don't use third-party browsers. However, Safari browser has no QR code scanning function, which brings some inconvenience and trouble.
Recently, a new posture was discovered. When the iPhone camera is aimed at the QR code, a prompt will pop up in the notification bar at the top. Click it to open it with Safari.
This is actually the same thing as scanning with WeChat before jumping to Safari.
