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 do have other cameras!

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

What size did you get it printed? I printed mine to an A6 size, but it's too big. What's smaller than that?

I don't know why it wasn't made possible to link it to the covid tracer app. Probably a complicated way to do it, but I downloaded it from the email to files on my phone, from there sent it to 'drive' and from there had the option to add it to my homescreen. It is also in my notes on my phone. Hopefully it will scan ok.

My phone has a camera, and pictures can be loaded on it, but it won't scan QR codes.

Now there's a thought. Wallpaper? Or screensaver - or whatever it is called these days...
