I loaded my covid pass onto my phone

[CorylusMaxima]

as a jpeg, a snip of the pass part from the PDF. The phone's screen is too small for it to be useful, so now I have a printed copy, cut out and glued to card, in a small plastic bag in my wallet.

I just opened the pdf - took a screen shot - edited the screen shot to cut off the unimportant bits, saved the file, then made a shortcut to my home screen.  It's very easy to use you just tap it once to open it and 'pinch to zoom' if needed.....

Have tested it with a barcode reader on another phone - all good.

Any reason they couldn't just have sent the pdf without the unimportant bits, which could have been in the email?
