One of the new things that came with the new iOS 12 update is the ability to scan a code from the Control Center on the iPhone and iPad home screen. If you often need to scan QR codes, this feature will come in really handy..
For those who are not yet familiar with what it is, you can enable QR Code scanning on iOS 11 with camera on iPhone. Apple made this function much easier with the latest version of iOS, we can really say thank you to the 3D Touch and the addition of the QR code scan icon in Control Center on iPhone.

Step 1. Go to “Settings” → “Control Center”.
Step 2. Tap “Customize Controls”, then tap the “+” which is right next to the “Scan QR Code” inscription on your iPhone running iOS 12..
