How to scan a Spotify code

Scanning a Spotify code is a pretty simple process. Just tap the search bar in Spotify as you would when you're about to search an artist, song, playlist, podcast, etc. and as soon as your keyboard pops up take a look in the top right corner. You'll find a little camera icon. This is the icon you'll want to click if you're going to scan a Spotify code.

Once you click on the icon it'll ask for access to your camera and photos. Select yes and you'll be able to scan a Spotify code.
