Security Considerations

While branch.io is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.

URL Shortener

branch.io converts URLs into short codes that hide the actual destination. Before clicking shortened links, use a URL expander tool or hover to preview where the link actually leads.

Custom Subdomains

branch.io allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.branch.io". An address like "paypal-secure.branch.io" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not Branch Metrics, Inc..
