Scanning QRcode automatically opens Wallet

When you have a QR code sent to your iPhone via an App or e-mail - say a train ticket - when you go to a QR code scanner to scan your ticket iOS auto launches Apple Wallet and thus blocks the ability to scan the QR code.


This can be especially frustrating and a huge problem if you need a QR code scanned when you’re in line to exit or enter a train station and the turnstile requires the code to open a door.


Not every -far from- ticket provider has the opportunity to add the ticket to the apple wallet. Therefore you have to delete all your bankcards first, scan the QR, get into the train station and later add all the cards back. This typically happens when you don’t have time for this and results in a hurry and stress.


An option to shut off the automatic process of opening the wallet should be added.


Apple, please fix this ! Problem already know by many people and since years !

Why hasn't this been fixed yet? I find posts all over the internet with

the same problem dating years back (4 years at least) and I have the

same problem when I need to scan a QR code for public transport... I

just tried the suggestion you give, it does not work. Wallet still pops

up near the scanner when i'm trying to scan a QR code.
