## Risks
|
||||
|
||||
Clickable links in messages are a very useful feature however there are risks you should be aware of if you
|
||||
choose to enable this feature.
|
||||
|
||||
To prevent accidental triggering, after clicking on a link in a message, Cwtch will first open an additional prompt with two options:
|
||||
|
||||
![](/img/clickable_links.png)
|
||||
|
||||
After clicking on a link in a conversation Cwtch will open a warning prompt with two options:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Copy the URL to the Clipboard
|
||||
2. Open the URL in the default system browser.
|
||||
2. Open the URL in the **default web browser**
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the back button on your device, or click away from this prompt to avoid selecting either option.
|
||||
|
||||
**Cwtch cannot protect you if you open malicious links**.
|
||||
|
||||
The URL is opened in the **default web browser** which will likely, at a minimum, expose your IP address to the server hosting the URL. Web pages may also use other browser vulnerabilities to gather additional information, or further exploit your computer.
