iPhone WiFi scan
Apple currently supports QR scanning through the iPhone Camera app and Code Scanner. For a WiFi QR, the important next step is confirming that the recognized network is the one you intended to use.
Use the iPhone's native QR tools to read the code. RepointQR is only relevant later if the network owner needs to replace a stale or unreadable WiFi QR.

Camera and Code Scanner are the native starting points
Apple's current guidance documents both paths for QR scanning on iPhone.
The network prompt still needs verification
Do not join automatically just because the QR is readable; confirm that the network presented by the device is the one you expect.
A stale password is not a camera problem
If the QR reads but the network rejects the connection, troubleshoot the encoded credentials or network access rather than rescanning indefinitely.

Workflow
A reliable scan-to-join path checks the QR, the intended network, the connection result, and the age of the credentials.
Open Camera or Code Scanner on iPhone and position the entire QR clearly in the scanning area. Apple documents both as current native QR-scanning paths.
When iPhone recognizes the code, use the action it presents and verify that it refers to the WiFi network you intended to join.
After accepting the network action, check that the iPhone connects to the expected WiFi rather than assuming recognition alone completed the job.
Separate camera/QR recognition from stale credentials, network reachability, or another access requirement before deciding whether the code itself needs replacement.
This page is for a guest or user scanning someone else's WiFi QR, not for the person creating the code.
The code is already on a card, counter, wall, screen, or other host-provided location.
The camera can see the QR, but the user needs to determine whether the problem is the scan, the credentials, or the network.
Comparison
These are separate events on the receiving iPhone.
The camera or Code Scanner successfully reads the code and presents an action.
The iPhone accepts the encoded network details and actually connects to the intended WiFi. This can still fail after successful QR recognition.
Questions focused on the receiving iPhone.
Apple currently documents the Camera app and Code Scanner as native QR-scanning options.
No. Use the iPhone's native QR tools. RepointQR is relevant if the network owner needs to create a new WiFi QR.
The code may contain stale credentials, the network may be unavailable, or another network-access step may still be required. QR recognition and successful WiFi connection are separate checkpoints.
No. A password change can make the encoded credentials stale even though the image still scans correctly. Use an updated network QR.
No. Scanning is a receiving-device job. To create a reusable QR, use the WiFi generator with the current network name, password, and supported security setting.
Because Apple documents specific native scanning paths on iPhone, including Camera and Code Scanner. Other phones can expose different controls even though the underlying scan-to-join job is similar.
If the iPhone can read the code but the encoded WiFi details are outdated, create a fresh QR from the current network configuration and test it before reposting.
