HarmonyOS NEXT to bring a multi-app code scanning feature

HarmonyOS NEXT will bring several smart features to Huawei phone users and one of them could be a “multi-app code scanning” tool. From the name, the feature will ease the scanning tasks for users without involving them in multiple processes.

Weibo tipster @FixedFocus says the HarmonyOS NEXT could bring a new “multi-app unified code scanning” feature. This tool smartly recognizes the code and reaches the code-related application automatically. The entire procedure requires one step.

Just open the camera of your phone and scan the code directly. The benefit is users won’t require a specific code scanner or an app to scan the code. It also eliminates the need to manually find the code-related app, enable the camera, and scan the code.

Being a multi-app unified code scanning feature, it may support all types of codes. As soon as users will scan the code via their main camera app, the software will lead them to the corresponding app. For instance, payment, connectivity, and more.

A few netizens speculated that the feature could even be compatible with third-party apps. Thus, this could be the most convenient and faster code scanning service.

Huawei introduced a Smart Pay feature years ago. The tool identifies the payment code and automatically leads users to the payment app to complete the transaction.

The new multi-app code scanning feature seems to be available in the HarmonyOS NEXT beta version. It might have more benefits that are currently unknown. Although we could find this feature with the stable HarmonyOS NEXT in the coming days.

As per some details, the HarmonyOS NEXT stable is expected to launch by the end of this month. However, a few tipsters believe that the company will bring the official software by mid-October. To get clear details, we have to wait for a few more days. Stay tuned.
