I'm sure the QR scanner in Control Center has it's advantages for some as it automatically navigates to the website when you scan a code.

Using the camera app, you have the extra step of tapping on the prompt to open in Safari.

I suspect this is what's not happening for the OP. Thus the suggestion to check Settings.


Opinions aside, there are 2 built in methods to accomplish a QR scan (iOS 14).. Hopefully one of them works for the OP.
