On current iterations of iOS, users have to find and download a third-party QR code scanning application if they wish to use their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to scan a code.<\/p>\n<p>When iOS 11 launches in the fall, the Camera app will natively provide a QR scanning function to all users. Some beta users have taken to Twitter to share a glimpse of the feature in action, and it appears expectedly straightforward: open the Camera app, point the iOS device at a QR code, and tap on the drop-down notification to act upon it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2017\/06\/qr-code-in-ios-11-camera.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1191\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-569011\" \/><center><em>A few examples of iOS 11 QR code scanning via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/daytonlowell\">@daytonlowell<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/theronster\">@theronster<\/a><\/center><\/em><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-cards=\"hidden\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The QR code reader in iOS 11 knows when it\u2019s a WiFi network and offers to join. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pCHwGi1abF\">pic.twitter.com\/pCHwGi1abF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Dayton Lowell (@daytonlowell) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/daytonlowell\/status\/871859736144207872\">June 5, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\n<script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/center> Some examples that have been shared include <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/daytonlowell\/status\/871859736144207872\">joining a Wi-Fi network<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/theronster\/status\/871857736870490114\">adding someone to your contacts<\/a>, and &#8212; presumably &#8212; any other scanning opportunities currently offered by QR code technology.
