How to Scan a QR Code With Your Phone Camera, and When to Be Careful

QR codes are the small black-and-white squares you see on menus, posters, letters and car park signs. This course shows you, step by step, how to scan one with the camera already on your iPhone, iPad or Android phone, and how to check where a code is taking you before you type in any details or pay.
