Scanning a QR code sent to my email from my phone without a desktop?

[MitzEclipse]

I often buy esims which get sent to my email. I am also not always on desktop and only have my phone with me.

The eSIM carrier emails me a QR code to scan. I need to scan this QR code to initiate the eSIM activation process.

How do I scan this QR code without a desktop or another device to scan from?

just tap and hold the QR code? At least that's how it works in the Photos app when there is a QR code present in the picture. Oh, that have that working when the iPhone language is not English/French/German/Japanese/(maybe some others), go to Settings -> General -> Language & Region -> scroll all the way to the end and switch ON 'Live Text'. With this ON, all text is selectable/actionable in all pictures.

So when tap and hold on the QR code doesn't work in the email, take a screenshot and tap and hold the QR code in the picture ;-)
