How to scan and share a QR code safely
Scanning is quick, but a moment of inspection helps you understand where a code leads before opening it or sharing the result.
A clear sequence
- Center the full code in the camera frame.
- Read the decoded destination or text before opening a link.
- Avoid entering sensitive information on an unexpected page.
- Save or copy the result only when you know why you need it.
- Share the decoded text with the same care as any link.
The scanner reveals the code; you still decide whether its destination is appropriate.
