The problem is not with QR codes themselves, but how readers/scanners present/use QR codes.
If you're not allowed to see the full URL/data inside the QR code when scanning it, before going to the URL/taking action on the data, then you need to try a different client.
- dylan604 4y agoEven the iOS provided ability with the Camera app only shows part of a URL and depending on the domain you might not even see the full domain. I'm damn sure not installing a 3rd party app that I have even less trust in to not do something shady. Typically, if I'm only provided a QR code, then I move along to something else. It irks me to know end that I have to use them in the manner that I do, and voice my concerns anytime the discussion is held on if they are needed. Unfortunately, they are expected to be provided as has been suggested not quite a barcode replacement but similarly present in retail packaging
