Escape from Tarkov phone map: open your companion with a QR code

Your next three steps

1. 01

   Start local map sharing

   The app displays a private local address for the active sharing session. Open that exact link on your second device. Scanning the QR code avoids typing the address; the phone’s camera may ask you to tap before opening the browser.

2. 02

   Scan the QR code on your phone

   The phone view reflects the companion’s available map and tracking data. It does not create an independent game position. If capture pauses or a screenshot is old, treat the marker as the last known position and check the update age.

3. 03

   Check the map and stop when finished

   Do not post the private address publicly. Stop the sharing service when it is no longer needed and generate a fresh session when your setup changes. A QR code is a convenient representation of the link, not a reason to remove the same network and privacy checks.

Use the address supplied by the app

The app displays a private local address for the active sharing session. Open that exact link on your second device. Scanning the QR code avoids typing the address; the phone’s camera may ask you to tap before opening the browser.

Keep both devices on the same trusted local network. A guest network or a device-isolation setting can prevent the phone from reaching the computer even when both devices have internet access.

Read the latest position in context

Keep local sharing deliberate
