Yes, they assume, all camera apps recognize QR codes as well - but this
is not the case. If your camera app does not support this, try a
dedicated QR code scanner app like this:

<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.markusfisch.android.binaryeye>

This works quite well, is for free, supports not only QR codes but many
other code formats as well and you can even generate your own codes if
needed.
