The QR code must be able to be seen in its entirety on the screen of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, the code does not have up or down, so it does not matter from which angle we approach it.
In the lower right corner of the camera image a QR icon will appear indicating that the Xiaomi 13 Ultra has recognized a valid QR code. Click on that icon to open the available options.
3- Third step:
In the event that the QR code is a web address, the visible address and a button will appear at the bottom of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra screen to open that web address. Click on "Go to the web" to open that web page.
