 Not in my camera app ... of many years.  I don't have Android 11, and
whatever phone and model the OP has.  Mine is an old Android 8.0.0
phone, and, nope, no QR code scanning it the embedded camera app.  And
why I mentioned getting a QR scanning app.  Android 8.0 was released
back in 2017.
 The OP's camera app also doesn't, according to his description, include
QR scanning, and he's on Android 11 which was released in 2020.  Doesn't
seem to be the pervasive feature you think it is.

You are correct, I have a friend that asked about this, her phone can not point and click on a QR. I tried to install something, I couldn't. I recommended to think of a newer phone, it is not the only thing that doesn't work.
