My Moto X (2015) camera app automatically scans not only QR and bar codes but also scans and OCR's business cards. This might also be true on recent Nexus devices though I don't have one so can't say for sure.

In the sense that making the default camera app into a QR scanner entails that in a certain subset of use-cases it becomes impossible to take a photograph and not undertake a scan. Whether this is considered an issue by those studying such matters is unknown to me; I'm just speculating wildly.
- chetanahuja 11y agoMoto X camera app has a neat solution to this. When it detects a business card or a QR/bar code, it shows an on screen indication of this instead of changing mode. You can continue to take a picture and/or handle the on-screen notification in whatever combination you desire.
