How to Scan a QR Code

Open a website from a printed square code.

1. Open the camera app on your phone. 2. Point it at the code — you do not need to take a photo. 3. A link appears at the top of the screen. 4. Read the web address before you tap it.

Never scan a QR code on a sticker that has been stuck over another one.
