As title reads, are there any recommendations of apps for iphone that can scan a QR code of a bitcoin address and display the balance of said address? I've been trying to find some for some time but it's just one faulty app with bugs after another. Some apps claim to be able to scan QR codes but they only give you the option to send btc to it - it won't display the balance.

I could add that function to https://bitcoindata.science/bitcoin-balance-check

Would you use it in your phone browser?

Phone browser would not be an issue for me and that'd be greatly appreciated! I use chrome on my phone, if that matters.

Nice. I will try to come back here in a few days with this function implemented so you can give me your feedback

I could add a camera button and the scanned address would automatically be added to the list to be checked.

"Blockchain BTC Address Book" can do that. The app lets you scan QR codes to easily add Bitcoin addresses to your watchlist.

While I haven't tried it myself, seems to have good reviews.

Yeah I know that, I was just hoping to get some realtime balance updates from scanning it rather than copying and going to a block explorer and doing it all "manually". I know there were some in the past, but they've all been shut down or removed.

It must be a co-incidence LOL
I was looking for the same thing a few weeks ago and then gave up because nothing I found that was doing the job :-D

I searched something similar and i found something that has this feature. It works like, after scanning the qr code you will need to save it using the plus icon to check its balance. I can't guarantee how safe it on your device though. It's an android app and supports other coins too.

While looking for any help in the Internet I found out that this need was discussed way back in 2012 right here[1] and it seems that 12 years latter there isn't a solution for iOS users. In the past there were some applications available (Baseline[2] and Scanbook[3] p.e.) but they seem to have vanished now.

Just a random idea but would creating a recipe in IFTTT[4] work? The way I see it is whenever you scanned a QR code, the action would be to modify an existing saved URL (for example - https://mempool.space/address/PASTEDURL) and then open that website. Not sure if that's doable however...

If you're on iOS, you can just use the native camera. Scan the QR, click the bottom right QR code icon, select "copy".
