Adding a contact

To automatically add contacts to the device after decoding QR codes, you have to grant Kaspersky QR Scanner access to your contacts. You will receive an access request when you try to scan a QR code with encoded contact details for the first time. If you did not allow the app to access your contacts after scanning the QR code for the first time, you can tap Home > Settings > Privacy > Contacts (for devices with iOS 7.0–7.1) or Home > Settings > Privacy > Contacts (for devices with iOS 8.0 or later versions). In the settings, enable access to contacts for Kaspersky QR Scanner.

Kaspersky QR Scanner can recognize contact details encoded in a QR code. After decoding the QR code, you can call the contact by tapping the button or, if a mobile phone number is specified, send an SMS message to the contact by tapping the button. You can also use other means of communication (for example, send an email message) if the relevant contact details are encoded in the QR code.

To add a contact to the device contact list:

  1. Point the camera at the QR code with encoded contact details.

    Kaspersky QR Scanner automatically focuses the image and decodes the QR code. A window with contact details opens.

  2. Save the decoded contact details in one of the following ways:
    • To add a contact, tap Create New Contact.
    • To add contact details to an existing contact, tap Add to Existing Contact.

    If malicious or phishing links were detected in the Website field of contact data, it is impossible to save contact data.

    The Contacts app opens. The form for adding a new contact or contact details is filled out automatically.

  3. Tap Done.
