I found that you can make a QR code from the google chrome browser. Once you are at the site, just tap that share button (with the arrow pointing up for iPhone), select “Create a QR code” (about 5 options down) and it will instantly create one to share.

My church has a QR code for cash app that we post during our live stream. My issue is that if someone is watching the live stream on their phone, they are not able to scan the QR code so I was wondering if there was a way to make a QR code that is touchable so that when watching they can tap or touch the QR code rather than scan. Any help would be appreciated

@Ces37 3 жыл бұрын

The short answer is yes, I found a shortcut that can let it connect to your Wi-Fi using a QR code. I don't remember if I saved it on one of my devices, but if I did, I'll put the link to it later today.

@Ces37 3 жыл бұрын

If the link doesn't work, let me know. I'll tell you the steps to follow. You can change the last option from show results to something else, if you want to be able to share the QR code. Right now, it will only show it, and have an option that says done.

@StephenRobles 3 жыл бұрын

Hey so here’s a Shortcut that will take whatever wifi network you’re currently connected to, you input the password when run, and it’ll make the QR code: www.icloud.com/shortcuts/751d7a22b61f47c3a10a74c24c1c3882
