No QR Scanner on new iPhone 12

I don’t appear to have the regular QR scanner on my new and updated IPhone 12? Could it be hidden somewhere ? I thought it came up automatically

if you are trying to scan a QR code using the camera..

go to Settings > Camera and make sure the switch is toggled on for Scan QR Codes


If that switch is already on, then are you sure what you are scanning is a QR code?


You can also use the QR code scanner in Control Center
