How to scan UPI QR codes directly from the camera app on Samsung phones
Samsung recently added native QR-coded scanning support on some of its newer phones. The feature lets you scar QR codes straight from the default stock camera app and make UPI-based payments directly. Alternatively, users can also quickly use a new Scan QR option from the quick panel.
Here’s how to use the new features to speed up your UPI payments on Samsung phones.
Before making a payment using the camera app, make sure your Samsung smartphone is among the phones listed above and is eligible to get the new feature. Next, ensure you have the latest software update installed on your device.
To make the payment, open the camera app and point it at the UPI QR code to scan it.
You should see an option that will let you pay with Samsung Pay or Samsung Pay Mini.
Choose whichever app you use and then go ahead with the payment by entering the amount and your UPI pin.
You can also similarly use the QR Scan shortcut in the quick panel to make payments. When the shortcut is tapped and the camera interface is opened just point to the QR code you want to send money to and proceed as in the step above.
