Galaxy S9 camera can now scan QR codes without Bixby Vision

While the latest Galaxy S9 update brought a few camera features that have already been present on the Galaxy S10, it also introduced a new feature that is currently not available on any other Galaxy device. The June security update for the Galaxy S9 adds a toggle in the camera settings called Scan QR codes, which lets you scan QR codes by simply pointing the camera at them. Once a QR code is detected, the camera instantly shows a popup with the link to whatever website the QR code points to, letting you open that website with a single tap.
