How to scan a barcode
When barcode scanning is available, a Barcode icon will appear above your keyboard:
Tap the Barcode icon to open up the barcode scanner, bring your barcode in view, and the scanner should pick it up automatically.
If your phone isn't picking up the barcode, try moving your phone up slightly so the barcode is toward the bottom of your screen.
