You should scan it and find out then tell us about it.

I'm on the phone already, if you know of a simple way to scan qr that you can see on your phone please tell me because this really annoys me

On android I take a screenshot and use the lens tool in my photos app.

The screenshot tool has a lens feature too but that one only offers opening the link while photos will also let me copy the URL without sending it to my browser.

In this case it is: https://watchdominion.org/

Lens is also good for OCR with built in copy to clipboard and translation features. As you can screenshot most apps or take a photo of a sign, letter, gift card, etc. it can be a handy little tool.

my photos app doesn't do that for some reason, when i use lens it just recognizes the qr and searches for qr code images. it's the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

edit: after your comment i also tried launching the lens app directly (rather than using lens from photos) and pick the image rather than using a camera, and that works. so google has two versions of lens on my phone that act differently. brilliant.

Barcode Scanner (F-Droid) is another app that will decode a QR code from an image.

SimpleQR can read qr codes from images, so you can take a screenshot and read it. The app is available on fdroid.

On my Pixel I long press at the bottom and then press on the code. I think it's called google lens or something.

as i said elsewhere i tried lens on the photos app and it doesn't work. but when i launched the lens app and then picked the image it did. Google is dumb as always
