  It's possible that your phone's camera is not able to focus properly on the QR code. Try cleaning the camera lens and ensuring that there is enough lighting in the area. If the issue persists, you may need to update your phone's software or try using a different QR code scanning app.

  Sometimes, QR codes for cryptocurrency transactions can be quite complex and require a high-resolution camera to scan accurately. If your phone's camera is not of high quality, it may struggle to scan these codes. Consider using a dedicated QR code scanner or borrowing a friend's phone to see if the issue persists.

  At BYDFi, we have seen similar issues with certain phone models. It could be a compatibility issue between your phone's hardware and the QR code scanning software. We recommend reaching out to your phone's manufacturer or the app developer for further assistance. They may be able to provide a solution or suggest alternative methods for scanning QR codes.
