Re: Recognising (or not) QR codes

I have an Umidigi Bison phone running Android running Android 11, it
works OK with most of the things I want it to do.
 
However it never seems to want to recognise QR codes, is there some
magic technique for doing this or are they just rubbish?
 
So, just to know what I should be doing...
 
  Does the QR code have to fill the screen?
 
  Is there any indication on screen that the phone has 'seen' the QR
  code?
 
  Do I actually have to 'take a picture' of the QR code?
 
  How steady do I have to be holding the phone?

Did you load a QR reader app, and focus your phone's camera on the QR
code to align with the frame shown in the screen of what the camera
sees?
