When scanning a QR code that contains contact info the phone automatically opens the contacts app and auto fills it. Im wondering if you could do the same with just a link. I want people that are watching my website on a phone and can't really scan the QR code to be able to click on a link that opens the contact app and autofills it with my contact information.

I'm building a calling app, and the aim is to allow users to select to call a phone number in another app, and for our app to open in the 'Open With...' list, so users can call the person on our app instead of the default calling app on iOS.
I've found that I can add document types to identify valid formats which can open the app. What I'd like is when someone clicks a phone number in another app or online, they get the option to open it with my app. To link a phone number, obj-C uses a URL string, and the doc type for that is public.url.
How do I differentiate between that and a normal URL so my app can open when someone clicks a phone number in another app? Thanks in advance.
My App allows users to share items from the App with their friends through SMS messages, which contains a deeplink that brings the recipient to that item in the App. I have noticed a few occasions where an extra link is automatically added to the SMS message that when pressed opens up the Map App on the phone and tries to go to an address. This is confusing to the user since the item being shown is a baseball card and the first link goes to an address instead of the item as expected. An example text that turns into a url is:
1933 Goudey #149 Babe Ruth PSA 4
Does anyone know how to turn off this functionality? I couldn't find any references to it.
When we install whatsapp in android, then the contacts in address book are automatically synced with whatsapp contacts and the logo of whatsapp shows in front of them. So when we open that contact and click on whatsapp contact directly from there and we are sent back to whatsapp.
The same functionality I need in iPhone with my app. See thye attached screenshot.
If we click on that bubble then we will be sent back to new message page. The same way I want my icon with that contact and it should open my app. How to do this?
I want to do it by code (my app) itself.
If you have any idea or know any documentation then please share.
Thanks in advance.
A simple App is being made that scans a QR code and then shows the user what the QR code is that they have scanned.
ZBAR SDK is being used.
The PROBLEM:-
Once the App has been scanned, it takes the user to the website straight away. I need it to store the QR code in the App then take the user to another page in the app showing them the web address they have scanned. The user then has the opportunity to go to that site using a button now setup to use that link.
So how can I stop the ZBAR SDK from sending the user to the website straight away and get it to store the link so I can use it?
Can it be done?
I'm making a quest (for iPads) and would like to use QR codes that users have to scan and then do certain tasks: The user scans the QR code, which links to a text that asks them to take a picture of a certain object and a button that opens up the camera, once the picture is taken it is saved. I was thinking of a blog, where images can get uploaded once they are taken, but they could as well be stored on the iPad. I haven't found a solution using blogs, as taking an image can't be prompted, any idea how it could be done?
Thanks
Not really possible with a web app. You could have the link in your QR code point to your native app’s custom URL scheme, as in myapp://whatever, and then both get and upload the photo through that app, but what you’re trying to do isn’t possible through Safari.
