What I don't know is why all phones don't have a QR/barcode reader application preinstalled.

A QR code is the best of both worlds.




iOS has this standard, default camera app


On android, Google lens in pixel can do it and few other manufacturers like OnePlus have deeper integration with Google Lens via their camera app but needs to be installed separately.

I support the idea of having built-in barcode reader which can scan barcode from the screen as well e.g. images in webpage.
