A lot of people in the US don't even know how to scan a QR code, and for the longest time (maybe still now?) the most popular mobile phone OSes didn't come with a built-in scanner.


From what I can tell, Android can't by default and iOS can but I think its disabled by default.


My pixel can scan qr codes by default through the camera


Ah interesting. I used a pixel for a while and I never knew that was a feature so I assume most users don't either.


The last several generations of Samsung phones have had QR code scanning built into the camera app.
