For some links you receive in a chat, you might see a suspicious link indicator. This indicator might appear when a link contains a combination of characters that is considered unusual. Spammers use character combinations to trick you into tapping on links. These links might appear to go to legitimate websites, but actually take you to a malicious site.
Here is an example of a suspicious link:
https://fåcecall.com/free-tickets
Note: The first character looks like the letter "a" but is instead the character "å". This means a spammer might have tricked you into visiting a website that wasn’t related to FaceCall.
When receiving links, carefully review the content of the message. If a link is marked suspicious, you can tap the link and a pop-up message will appear. The message will highlight any unusual characters within the link. Then you can choose to open the link or go back to the chat. FaceCall automatically performs checks to determine if a link is suspicious to protect your privacy. Remember, because of end-to-end encryption, FaceCall can’t see the content of your messages.
