Everybody knows that a QR Code is a set of small black and white squares which, usually, contains data regarding a particular web address and other information, is machine-readable and can be accessed through a camera. Although the feature was introduced in iOS 11 by Apple, it was never as convenient as it is right now in iOS 12. The ability to scan QR Code is directly integrated within the Control Center in the iOS 12 operating system, which makes it much comfortable and speedier to access.
