Check the second screen

The QR must be open on another device and fit completely on the screen. On one phone, it is more convenient to use a direct link.

Allow the camera

Open the Happ system permissions and turn on the camera for scanning only. After the change, restart the app.

Remove glare

Increase the brightness, clean the lens, and keep the camera still. Do not enlarge the code until the edges are cut off.

Update the code

Open the current QR in your account. An old screenshot may contain invalid data.

Use the link

If scanning is not possible, copy the direct link from the account and import it into Happ.

Security

Do not send a personal QR to strangers and do not store it in a shared gallery.
