Xperia 5 IV

The Photo Pro app on my Xperia 5 iv doesn't recognise QR codes. The QR Code reader is on and the app is in Basic Mode. I am using Android 13 (Update 64.1.A.0.857). Any help or advice is much appreciated.

Hey TrevorF, thank you for the update. On the screen, try as much as you can to include the 4 corners of the QR code, make the phone steady, and move the came closer and away from it. Let me know how it goes. 😇

Hey TrevorF, are you sure that the feature is on?? Check this link out to see:

Also, is the issue happening with multiple QR codes? Or just one? As it might be corrupted if it's just one. 

Also, try these quick fixes:

Many thanks Hannah. I think it was just the two QR codes that I was trying that were not working. I have since tried a few others and they work okay. I think Photo Pro may have a few issues with recognising codes in different types of media (e.g. on a monitor screen). So I will continue to experiment and feedback here.

The QR reader seems to be working now.
