  I think what they mean is, how do you scan the QR code if you are using the phone to look at the page. Perhaps WeChat can also open images from camera roll, so you can read QR from a screenshot? Edit: I discovered something: on iPhone you can long-press a picture of a QR code (don’t even need to screenshot it) and iOS will give you the option of navigating to the URL of the QR code

    I see. > I discovered something: on iPhone you can long-press a picture of a QR code (don’t even need to screenshot it) and iOS will give you the option of navigating to the URL of the QR code Nice! I just tested on an Android phone, and a long click on a QR code gives a menu that has an option "Search image with Google Lens", which in turn scans barcodes.

    Neat trick, but I still desperately wish that there was a way (I certainly cannot ascertain how) to copy the QR code contents without opening the link. As far as I can tell, iPhone will only give you the option to open in Safari if it is a url.
