The Restaurant Industry’s Worst Idea: QR Code Menus

I have a One Plus 7 Pro and it can scan QR codes, but you have to press a button in the camera app first. Not entirely intuitive up-front and a bit finnicky even once you know about it, but it's been good enough in practice.

I really would like to know how to scan QR codes without playing 3rd-party app roulette. Which button do you have to press?

I have the OnePlus 10 Pro. I've looked through all of the menus and settings, there's nothing that seems to be QR code related? Maybe they've removed the feature?

If you google your question, you literally get a set of videos showing you how to do it.

"oneplus 10 pro qr": https://www.google.com/search?q=OnePlus+10+Pro+qr

In 30 seconds, I found that you can do it by using the Google Lens feature, which is a button to the left of your zoom button in your camera app. If you don't want to use that, you can use google lens directly.

Ah, the trick is not to have disabled the Google Lens app. I'd seen that video before, but in never clicked that Lens was required. Thanks.
