    This button usually looks like a circle at the bottom of your screen. It will take a picture of the QR code, and save it to your gallery.
    • You can now find a picture of this QR code in your gallery, and share it or use it however you want.

    If you're trying to copy a code from a mobile source, you can take a screenshot and save it to your gallery.
    • Usually, you will have to press down Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time to take a screenshot. The key combination may change depending on your Android's version.

    If a screenshot isn't possible, you can try saving the QR image to your gallery as a new picture. This should work for most online sources.
    • Tap and hold on the QR code.
    • Select Download image on the pop-up menu.
