Is there an application to download to a smartphone to enable it to read/scan QR codes?

Possibly we're talking at cross-purposes - if you want to scan a QR code anywhere with your smartphone, does the phone need to have a scanning application installed?

if it is android it will have google lens, you can use that for scanning and forwarding to the relevant link

Have just installed QR Scanner from the Play store, no ads, 5/5 score.

One of the few apps that I downloaded onto my phone, I may have used it once but not since.

If you are looking/interested, there are many free websites out there that create qr codes for text or a link..
I like google lens as you can point the camera at a tree, plant and it will tell you what it is..

I have an app called "seek" that identifies all plants (and fungi) that I have locally from a photo of it. It is amazingly good.
