Apple has built QR Code recognition into its camera app, which means all you need to do is open it up and point it at the code in question.
You'll then get a notification appear on screen, promoting you to action the link the QR code points to - a quick tap on this and you'll be taken to the desired location, usually within the Safari web browser.

There's also a built-in QR reader in the Wallet app on iPhone and iPod. To access the scanner, open the app, click on the plus button at the top of the "Passes" section, then tap on Scan Code to Add a Pass.From here, you can scan QR codes for coupons, boarding passes, tickets, and loyalty cards, but only for the specific things that Wallet considers "passes."
If you try to scan any other QR code, you'll get an error message.
If you don't fancy either of the above two methods, you can also head to the App Store where you'll find a wide selection of free QR code reading applications.
