5 apps that are convenient to store a QR code

Now in Russia you can get into museums, theaters and some public places only by QR codeso it's important to always have it on hand. Of course, you can just save the code in image format and open it directly from the gallery, but when a large number of new photos appear, it will be problematic to quickly find it.

Much more convenient - to store the code separately. And this is not only about a special service, but also about programs that are usually used for other tasks. Here are five apps that can help with that.

1. Public services STOP Coronavirus

An application from the Ministry of Digital Development, which was created specifically for storing vaccination certificates, certificates, PCR tests and questionnaires for those arriving from abroad. Your QR code will be automatically displayed on the main page after authorization through the Gosuslug account. You don't have to enter anything manually.

2. Yandex

In the main application of the Yandex search engine, the function of adding code appeared even in autumn. It was implemented through "Alice" - you just need to say the command "Alice, show the QR code."

At the first request, the voice assistant will prompt you to log in through the “Public Services”, and then it will display your code on the screen. If the voice is uncomfortable, then you can find the code in the settings - just click on the profile icon in the upper left corner of the main screen and then select "COVID-19 QR code".

3. Tinkoff Bank

Tinkoff Bank cardholders can add a QR code to all other documents stored in the mobile application. The corresponding button for this is available in the profile section.

The code itself is loaded through the Gosuslug portal, so a one-time authorization is required. After the code will always be in the profile menu. It can be easily updated if necessary.

4. Google Pay

The official application of the Google payment service also has the function of storing a QR code. To add it there, you will need another program - Pass2Pay. It is designed to sort and import various passes, tickets and access cards.

With Pass2Pay, it's simple: open the vaccination certificate PDF file (it must be uploaded to smartphone), fill in several fields with an asterisk with any words and click on the “GPay Save to phone". After that, the code will be added to the list of cards of the GPay service and no "Public Services" will be required.

5. Apple Wallet

You can add a QR code to the Apple Wallet app, which is on every iPhone, through a site created by enthusiasts covidwallet.com. It allows you to upload a picture with a code or quickly take a picture of it through your smartphone camera.
