Connect your device
When using ‘Connect your device’ you will be asked to scan a QR code. After scanning, it will initiate the setup of your IOS device and connect your native email, calendar, reminder and contact apps with OX App Suite.
Please see how to scan a QR code below.
How to scan a QR code on an iPhone
iPhones come with a built-in QR code reader in the camera app. Just open your camera app, position your phone so the QR code appears on your iPhone screen. You may have to play around with the distance and angle to get it to read the QR code. Once the QR code is read, a notification will appear. Tap the notification to follow the steps to connect your device.
How to scan a QR code on an Android Phone
Not all Android phones have the ability to scan QR codes. The best way to figure out if your device can read QR codes is to open your camera app and point it steady for 2-3 seconds at the QR code. If scanning is enabled, a notification will appear, and you can follow the instructions to connect your device. If nothing happens, you will have to download a QR code reader app.
If your phone cannot automatically scan QR codes, you’ll have to download the app called QR Code Reader. Once downloaded, open the app, position the QR code in the widow and a pop-up option will appear. Follow the directions to connect your device.
