iPhone works fine, Android sees it fine (shows sharp on the screen), QR does not register as QR unless I make it BW 😭😭😭 

 You can buy fancy android phones too, you may just have to beg borrow or steal for one with a better camera comparable I would think. 

 It is a fine phone, modern but cheap. Very odd and unexpected. I have a top notch iPhone so not likely to invest into Android premium one. 

 Fair! 

 #boost get this man a top notch #android please!!! 🙏 

 Yes indeed, and all of them work as you would expect 😭😭😭😂 

 Same app by same app maker works fine on iPhone. Does Android provide native libs for QR or they use some other shared one? 🤔 

 Camera rendering on Android is subjected to software. 

Even with comparable cameras on Instagram, I used to get post processed to fuck making every high quality image look 240p or less. 

Imo it felt like it was engineered this way by the developers, preferring and testing iPhones rather than Android. (But Android has more variety so, ) 

QR should work in the camera app without the need for any additional apps  

 I need to readout WireGuard config so it is not a small QR 🤔 

 Maybe it works reading the QR data with another app and pasting it into WireGuard?
In the end every QR is just a string  

 Btw this was like in 2016. 

I don't use legacy media anymore. 

 Interesting point, never thought about it. In general due to the openness of Android (like being able to use different browser engines) I would guess they don't force a shared lib but tbh I have no clue. not an android dev.. maybe somebody with more actual knowledge can answer this 😄 

 There is, it works great on iPhone but I am yet to test it with android since it doesn’t like QR code for some fucked up reasons 😭 

 Yes, that’s why I am asking if I am doing something wrong 🤔 

 Is the phone successfully scanning and decoding the QR? Or are you unable to navigate to the link that's been successfully scanned and decoded? I was under the impression that you were unable to successfully scan and decode the QR on this one particular device. If you're able to successfully scan and decode the QR but unable to successfully navigate to the link, that's not a problem with your phone or with scanning the QR. That's an issue of you being unable to contact the specific link contained in the QR for whatever reason.  

 WireGuard imports config via QR, there is no link to follow, it’s a text file 

 That means there's nothing wrong with scanning and decoding the QR, but with the decoded data contained in the QR, or with the application or process that's interpreting and applying the information contained within the QR. From the OP, I was under the impression that he's unable to successfully scan and decode the QR, which is why I asked the question that I asked.  

 Your impression was correct, the scanner would not indicate it was successful at scanning 

 It's probably an issue with the phone's camera, but it could also be a problem with the app you're using to scan the QR. First, are you able to scan other QRs? Or is the problem just with a particular QR? Second, I would try a different QR scanner. If the problem is with the app you're using, a different app may work properly. Those are the things I'd do to isolate the problem. You really need to determine where, exactly, the problem is before you can devise a solution.
