seeking howto display text block from QRencode on iPhone and Android
 

I have a block of raw text* -- actually, my contact name, address, etc. I used qrencode to create a PNG file with a nice QR-code graphic. Can someone tell me how to get iPhone to display the block of text?

When I scan from iPhone, I get a dialog that only display a map for the
street address from within the contact details text block.

When I scan from Android, I get a dialog that will open and show me the complete contact details contents of the text block. The details appear in
whichever "notes" app is available on the Android device.

Stumped,

This is a Linux forum, not an iPhone forum.

(That Android works proves that qrencode is producing a valid QR code, so the issue is on the iOS side.)

Asking iOS questions is welcome in the Other *NIX section (and you can use the "report" button to ask a mod to move this thread), but you'll probably get a faster answer if you find an iPhone-focused community to ask.

I understand the forum rules and intentions. However, since I'm a noob as far as QR generation is concerned, I don't know if there is something that I need to add to my 'qrencode' commands -- A LINUX TOPIC -- so that the scan result is purely text instead of a URL or similar. Does the pure text that I want displayed -- created in a pure-text editor as a junk.txt file -- need some sort of markup, mark-down, or other content so that it display correctly -- input to 'qrencode' also A LINUX TOPIC.

Since Android is more linux like that like any other platform, is this a CRLF vs. Newline issue?
Is there something else going on?

Thank you for your reply,
