WiFi QR codes let you join a network without typing the password. Scan the code and you are connected. QRScan.ph can read any WiFi QR code and show you the full network credentials instantly.
What Is a WiFi QR Code?
A WiFi QR code stores network information in a compact scannable format. It contains the network name (SSID), the password, and the security type, all encoded in the QR pattern. Restaurants, offices, hotels, and homes use WiFi QR codes so guests can connect without asking for a password.
How to Scan a WiFi QR Code on iPhone
- Open the Camera app on your iPhone.
- Point it at the WiFi QR code. A notification banner will appear at the top.
- Tap the banner, and your iPhone will prompt you to join the WiFi network automatically.
- Tap Join to connect.
This works on iPhone XS and later running iOS 14 or above. If no prompt appears, use QRScan.ph online to reveal the password manually, or scan from an image.
