Scanning a QR code on the same iPhone

Can I scan a qr code on the same iphone that has the qr code?

If you are unable to scan QR codes it could be the camera issue, alternatively follow this process


See the pic below which is self-explanatory

Take a snapshot of the QR code from any other device and transfer it to your device. Open the Photo and Firmly Press the QR Code.

Yes, you can. All you have to do is push hard on the QR code and it will work the same way as it would if you used the camera to scan the QR code. You do NOT need to take a photo of it on another phone as is recommended above.
