Merry Christmas everyone! Here is my present to you: don't download QR code scanning applications.
Two QR code apps were the number one and two apps on the Play Store last week, and that is so sad. QR code and flashlight applications often steal data and request unnecessary permissions at worst, and are slow, ad riddled and useless at best. This is because you have one built into your phone.
On Android and iOS, use the camera to scan a QR code. If you can't do that, open the Google app and click the camera icon. Grant the permissions, and you will be able to scan QR codes now!
Delete your QR code app! God bless and Merry Christmas!
