Buy a new one.

QR codes were invented in 1994 by the Japanese company Denso Wave, a 
subsidiary of Toyota. The QR code system was developed to track vehicles 
during the manufacturing process and to scan components at high speeds. 
The invention was led by Masahiro Hara from the Denso Wave company.

As of my last update in November 2024, many Motorola smartphones come 
with built-in support for QR code recognition through their camera apps. 
This feature is typically available out of the box, allowing users to 
scan QR codes without needing to download additional apps.

However, the availability of this feature can depend on the specific 
model and the version of the operating system it is running. If you have 
a specific Motorola model in mind, I can look up more detailed 
information about its capabilities.

With a little help from Mistral AI.
