Built-in Camera Gains QR Code Scanning Capability

The Beta version of Telegram for Android (11.6.0) now supports QR code scanning with the built-in camera, though with certain limitations.

Firstly, this feature is exclusive to the camera used for capturing stories. If you access the camera via the attach menu in a chat, the scanning functionality will not be available.

Secondly, the QR code must link to a user profile, bot, public group, or public channel—essentially, anything with a public username.
