(Image credit- DayFR Euro) You are not alone in thinking that QR code scanning should be improved if you have had trouble squinting at them or hurriedly attempting to scan them with your phone. What's fascinating is that Google appears to have paid attention to your worries and is going to present a ground-breaking answer. According to the reports, the Android 14 will include an auto-zoom function made to make scanning QR codes simple.

Upgraded QR Code Scanning

According to sources, the Android team at Google has been working hard to improve QR code scanning for a better user experience. Google's barcode scanning and code scanner APIs for its ML Kit now have an auto-zoom function, according to renowned Android analyst Mishaal Rahman, who recently made the revelation on X.

Ultimately, user ease is at the heart of the idea behind this feature. Imagine easily reading a QR code at a convenient distance without having to fiddle with your phone's zoom settings.

AI and Machine Learning Technology

The report claims that because it makes use of Google's machine learning (ML) kit, the technology underneath it is also more advanced. The procedure is improved by Google's use of machine learning and AI technology, which guarantees that the camera recognizes and zooms in on QR codes precisely. Although this auto-zoom marvel is already making waves, its possible effects on different Android smartphones are still up for debate. Because of Google's expertise in AI and machine learning, the functionality may operate without any issues on a variety of devices.   [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="1440"] Image credit- National Seniors Australia[/caption] The beta version of Google Mobile Services (GMS) has raised interest in the upcoming release of the auto-zoom feature. Observant users noticed the feature in GMS, hinting at an upcoming launch, including the @AssembleDebug account on X (previously Twitter). It is important to note that this development lines up with the upcoming release of Android 14, which should soon be available on our smartphones. Also, developers may use Google's sophisticated visual analysis algorithms, which go beyond barcode scanning to perform tasks like face and object detection. Furthermore, rumors say that Google's Super Res zoom technology, which enables real-time upscaling without the need for specialist hardware, may be involved.
