Scanning barcodes with your camera

The Picqer app scans barcodes with your phone's camera when your device has no built-in barcode scanner. Tap the barcode icon at the top right of the screen. The camera opens, and closes again as soon as it has scanned a barcode.

If your device has a built-in barcode scanner, you won't see the icon and you scan with that scanner instead. See supported devices and barcode scanners for the devices we support.
