Software Update to Galaxy S10 camera includes native QR code scanning

There are times in your life you'd likely come across a QR code, only to realize you need a special app installed in order to scan them. Fortunately for Samsung users, the June security update to One UI, is introducing native QR code scanning to the camera app on the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, and Galaxy S10e.

The feature was already available in Bixby Vision, but with the new update, it can now be used within the Samsung stock camera app. All you need to do is point your phone at a QR code and it will automatically pick up on it. If you feel like disabling this feature for whatever reason, there's a new toggle in Camera settings called "Scan QR codes".

According to SamMobile, the update also introduces a QR code scanner toggle in the notification shade, as an alternative way to initiate the camera app.

The June security patch has started rolling out on both the Exynos and Snapdragon versions of the Samsung Galaxy S10, S10+, and S10e. The international versions have started receiving the update in Switzerland earlier today, while other regions should also be receiving the update in the coming days.
