Android 13 is reportedly making a new tap-to-transfer feature for media. As we know that, QR codes are incredibly annoying to deal with, but for a lot of people, they’re essential. To understand it better, typically the stock camera app is where you’ll find a QR code scanner, but sometimes, you have to launch Google Lens manually and do it that way.
Now it’s going to be much better, as per the report, Android 13 will make it easier than ever to scan them — and straight from your lock screen, no less. The news coming up from the Android Police, providing them with screenshots of how the new feature works.
In the screenshots, there’s an option to “show QR scanner” on the lock screen, and a reference is also seen in the quick settings in the form of its own toggle. QR codes are used for all kinds of things, and they’re even used in Android for sharing the likes of a Wi-Fi access code.
