alt Hacker NewsWhat happens when your phone can't do that? I use a flip phone. It can't scan QR codes despite having a camera

Technically if you can copy paste the qr code into any qr reader website and manually do it, I think it's possible? Assuming it doesn't change the code very rapidly every few seconds.

My S24 Ultra no longer has rear cameras, they no longer work after the phone fell from a table. I can not scan QR codes either.
So many companies - such as electric car charging stations - require this without considering failure modes and alternative workflows.

then google has decided that you no longer should be able to use GMail (for now) and the internet (in the future)

Apparently it’s just an SMS URI.
It’s not something specific to a phone. It’s just a convenient method to enter your phone number.
