Afaik, the default camera app on most android installs can recognize/read qr codes.


Never seen one that does this, but I only ever saw a Samsung (from 2012 and 2013), Lenovo (2016), Xiaomi (2018) and Huawei (2018) because my girlfriend and I don't swap them out every other year (heck, not even every four years). I feel like friends might have mentioned it as well, as the topic of a good, FOSS QR code scanner came up a few times in some chats.


Huawei has it, but it's kind of hidden and only accessible from the lockscreen (wtf, right?).
