Having trouble scanning your QR code? A few tips to help: 

• • Hold your camera 6-10 inches away from your phone screen.
  • Slowly move the QR code on the screen away from the camera, then closer.
  • Tilt your phone screen slightly in case there's a glare.
  • Turn your phone upside down. 
  • If you're on iOS, turn off "Invert Colors".
  • Make sure the QR code isn't distorted.
    • If you have an older device, the screen may be too small. Try a different device.
    • If your screen is cracked or scratched, the code may be distorted. Try a different device.
    • If you're using a beta version of the Wyze app, make sure the cursor is not on the QR code.
