QR code reader .

Since the Android 11 update the camera QR reader is no longer working. Has anyone else had problems? Not working on my wife's 3xl either.

Since the Android 11 update the camera QR reader is no longer working. Has anyone else had problems? Not working on my wife's 3xl either.

Used it 2 weeks ago on my 4xl at two separate restaurants to get their menus, didn't have any problems.

Try clearing the app cache/data for the Camera app and the Google app.

Tried clearing cache and data, also tried the latest PX mod. Not working at all. Camera working fine otherwise.

I've noticed that it can depend on how close or far I hold the QR code. Try moving it slowly closer or farther from the lens to see if you can find a sweet spot.

Yeah, I've had a good play with , light, focus range, steady hand, clean lens, hard reset, uninstall updates, not to mention different QR codes, and still no good.
I've put one on from the app store now which works really quickly and accurately so it is a minor prob but a niggle none the less.

I've seen a few other threads about this, not sure why it happens on only some Pixel phones.:-\

Have you tried a long press over the QR code?

Do you have any option in the camera app settings for Google Lens? If so, make sure it's enabled.

Mines working on the pixel 4xl
You enabled the permissions?

Also uninstall the camera update and see if it works

Also, take a photo of the QR code and see if you get the link using Google Lens from Google Photos.

Thanks for the tips guys. Still knackered though.
