To enable QR code scanning on your iPad, first open the Camera app. Then, point your iPad's camera at the QR code you wish to scan. Ensure the QR code is fully visible on your screen; the camera should automatically recognize and scan the QR code. If prompted, tap the notification that appears to take the action the QR code directs to. No special settings need to be enabled as the camera app's default setting can scan QR codes.
