What's a QR Code?

You may have noticed several QR codes (short for "quick response codes") like the one below in recent issues of the New Era. If you have a camera-enabled smartphone, you can scan a QR code to link straight to a video, article, or website without having to type in its web address. Here's how:

Search for QR-code apps in the app store for your smartphone. Free apps are available for most smartphones.

Install your selected app to your smartphone.

Open the app, and scan the QR code. Once the code registers, the item it links to will appear on your smartphone.

Try out the code below to go to youth.lds.org, and check out more on pages 15, 25, and 48. This is an emerging technology that works best with iPhones and Android phones and may not work on all devices. E-mail feedback to newera@ldschurch.org.
