Apples upcoming iOS 14 update might let you spend for products by scanning QR codes that activate Apple Pay, offering you another method to use the businesss digital payment platform. 9to5Mac discovered referrals to the as-yet unannounced feature in the latest iOS 14 developer beta released earlier today.
9to5Mac said it wasnt able to get the feature to work, though, however it did find an image that appears to be instructing the user about how to utilize the brand-new feature. And 9to5Mac says it discovered the code for the function in a public system API, which might suggest third-party apps might likewise let you scan QR codes to make purchases utilizing Apple Pay.

iOS 14 is still just available as a developer beta, and Apple frequently tweaks and changes functions in its upcoming software application right up till its released to the public. That implies this function, which hasnt been revealed and which we currently just learn about because 9to5Mac went digging through iOS 14 code, might not actually see the light of day with the final release later this year.
Inspect out my coworker Dieter Bohns impressions of the very first beta version of the brand-new upgrade if you want to find out more about whats officially planned for iOS 14.
