Never even thought of asking siri. I will definitely try it. However, code scanner doesn't appear in the application centre, although it is checked when I looked at the camera settings. Also, it doesn't appear to be one of the options to put on the rota. But if you can just ask siri, then that would be the solution. Alison

Yes, you can ask Siri to Open Code Scanner and it does. I suspect for those who don't want to talk to Siri, it may work from type to Siri as well. For someone using type to Siri, it would be worth a try.

I do not know if that then puts it in the control center, or if you have to add it there somehow, but also, if you can get a QR code in focus when you just open the camera app, it will scan it automatically if that setting is on.
