iOS 17 will finally fix this annoying iPhone camera problem

Description:
iOS 17 will address an annoying iPhone camera quirk that sees QR code links 
float around the interface.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Apples iOS operating system is exceptionally intuitive and easy to use, but 
that doesnt mean the platform is completely free of annoying quirks. 

Take QR codes, for example. Apple introduced support for scanning QR codes 
with the iPhones Camera app in iOS 11, but when viewing a code, the link 
popup would appear as a pesky push notification at the top of the interface. 

Then, in iOS 13, Apple mixed things up by placing that yellow link button 
within the camera viewfinder itself  which was an improvement on the previous 
method, but still a source of frustration for many, particularly those with 
supersized iPhones whose thumbs had to hyperextend just to select the link. 

In iOS 17 , though, Apple appears to have come up with a universal solution 
for all iPhone sizes and finger lengths. As spotted by 9to5Mac , when you 
scan a QR code in iOS 17, the link button instantly appears at the bottom of 
the Camera app interface, making it much easier to tap with your thumb (in 
the same way that the Safari search bar now appears at the bottom of the 
screen). The updated QR code interface on iPhone (Image credit: 9to5Mac) 

There is actually a shortcut to enabling this feature in iOS 16 already  as 
soon as you move a QR code out of frame, the link bubble should drop down to 
the bottom of your iPhones camera interface  but in iOS 17, QR code links 
will appear at the bottom by default, rather than floating around the 
viewfinder to begin with. 

This may seem like an insignificant change, but with QR codes becoming an 
increasingly common method of sharing information, its good to see Apple 
trying to make the process of accessing them as smooth as possible.

We've also reported on the iOS 17 upgrades heading to Apple Maps and iMessage 
, as well as Apples new StandBy feature , which will turn your iPhone into a 
smart display, of sorts. 

iOS 17 proper isnt expected to roll out until September this year, but the 
iOS 17 beta is currently available to those enrolled in Apples Developer 
program.
