Check suspicious links

Look at the scanned result before opening it. Be careful with shortened links, unusual domains, misspellings, and links that ask for sensitive information.

Avoid unknown QR codes

Treat unknown public QR codes carefully. A sticker placed over a real QR code can send users to a different destination.

Copy before opening

When unsure, copy the scanned result instead of opening it immediately. Copy and share actions let you inspect or save the result first.

Use link warning

QR Code All In One can warn before opening suspicious QR links. A warning is a prompt to pause and review, not a guarantee about every link.
