I want to create a single QR Code that takes users to the App Store or Play Store depending on their phone’s OS. How can I create such a QR Code?

A very simple solution for this is to link your QR Code to a page which contains 2 links or buttons.
The Link could say something like “Download from Play store” and “Download from App store”.
Users click on the link from where they can download the app.
What you are looking for is a smart QR Code.
A smart QR Code is a dynamic QR Code that responds based on specific rules.
For example, in your case, the rule will be the scanner’s OS. If the OS is iOS, it will redirect the users to the App Store, and if the scanner is using Android, it will redirect the scanner to the Play Store.
Here’s what else a smart QR Code can do.
| Smart Rule | How it Works  |
|---|---|
| Time-based | Redirects users to different content depending on when they scan the QR Code. |
| Country-based | Directs users to localized versions of your website or content based on their country. |
| Scan number | Limits content access to a specific number of scans. After reaching the limit, users see a page stating the content is unavailable. |
| Unique user scan | Displays unique content to every new user scanning the QR Code. |
| Device language | Redirects users to content that matches their device’s language settings. |
| Device OS | Opens platform-specific links based on the user’s operating system. |
| Location-based | Shows multilingual content tailored to the user’s location. |
| Passcode | Unlocks specific content when a user enters a passcode after scanning the QR Code. |
| Age | Delivers personalized content based on the age entered after scanning the QR Code. |
