Surely you have an application installed to decipher the QR CODE, that's what they are called in English, which we find in our day to day.

Well, starting today, uninstall it. But do it only if you use the browser CHROME, since we are going to use this browser to scan QR codes. If you are using Safari, you will have to wait foriOS 11 to be able to uninstall such applications. And we say this because with the future iOS we will be able to decode any QR simply by focusing the camera on it.

Our follower Rafa Pérez, a crack of Online Marketing and in Social Media strategies, he gave us this hack that he stumbled upon by chance. It is very useful, effective and works perfectly.

HOW TO SCAN A QR CODE WITH CHROME:

For this, obviously, you must have the Chrome app installed. Obvious right?.

After this, when we find a QR CODE, we simply have to make the notification center or the Widget area of ​​our terminal appear. We do it, normally, with the notification center.

You know, slide your finger down from the phone receiver and it will appear.

As you can see, a search engine appears at the top. That is where we must put the following (without quotes) « QR «.

Doing that, we will see this

By clicking on the "Scan the QR code" option, the scanning interface will appear

We focus on the code and Chrome will take us to the web page associated with that QR CODE.

What do you think? It's a quick way to decipher these codes and also prevents us from having other apps installed.

Since we found out, we deleted our QR Reader, an app that we had installed for more than 5 years.

If you found this trick interesting, what are you waiting for to share it?

Thank you in advance.
