When a user is not logged in, or has not completed mobile verification and is using PicSee's shared domain (e.g., pse.is), a notice will appear on the website after creating a short link. If this notice is ignored, a warning page will appear when viewers click the short link.

How to Remove the Warning Page

You can try one of the following three methods:

1. Use a branded short domain: Simply use a branded short domain (if you own a domain, you can even set one up for free). Once set up, go back to the homepage to shorten a link and your branded short domain will be applied automatically. No warning will appear in branded domain mode.
   
2. Complete mobile verification: Once you complete mobile verification, all "Unknown safety" warnings under your account will be removed automatically. However, due to caching in our redirect system, existing short links take about 30 minutes before the warning is fully removed, and social platforms may cache it as well. If it's urgent, we recommend creating a new short link.
   
3. Contact support for manual review: If the short link was created while not logged in, it's not linked to your account, so the methods above won't apply. You can follow the link claiming guide to associate the link with your account, then complete mobile verification, or copy the short link and contact support for manual review and removal.
   

Why Does This Warning Exist?

To protect internet safety and brand reputation, PicSee applies a default warning to platforms where content can be freely modified, as these are commonly exploited to redirect users to phishing, malware, or adult content. Common platform types that may trigger warnings include:

1. Messaging apps: Such as Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal, etc. We cannot verify whether accounts or groups are safe, and content may include scams or adult material that harms the community experience.
   
2. Code/script platforms: Such as Google Apps Script, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, etc. Malicious users can use scripts to perform secondary redirects, sending viewers to phishing, malware, or adult sites.
   
3. Custom page platforms: Such as GitHub, Google Sites, Wix, Web Archive, etc. Even without full scripting access, malicious users may embed JavaScript or large clickable images that redirect viewers to harmful content.
   
4. File download platforms: Files may contain viruses or adult content, posing risks to community safety and experience.
   

If you discover a short link that genuinely leads to harmful content, you're welcome to report it on the short link report page. Together we can keep the internet safer.
