I Keep Getting A Warning Notification From TikTok or Instagram When I Click On My Rally.Fan URL, What Can I Do?

Updated over a month ago

Every so often, Instagram or TikTok will flash a “suspicious link” warning when you tap your Rally.Fan URL in your own bio. It’s frustrating—but it doesn’t mean anything is broken on your side.

Why it happens:
The social-app security filters randomly test outbound links to protect users from phishing and spam. Because the check is automated, even totally safe pages (like yours) can trigger it.

Quick Checks Before You Panic

What to Do

Why It Helps

1. View your public profile in a logged-out browser window (Chrome recommended).

Paste instagram.com/yourusername or tiktok.com/@yourusername into a new tab and make sure you’re signed out.

Confirms how followers see the link, minus app quirks or extensions.

2. Ask a friend to tap the link from their device.

Preferably someone who doesn’t manage your account.

Verifies the warning isn’t universal.

3. Test the link in an incognito/private tab on mobile.

Copy the Rally.Fan URL directly into the browser.

Rules out cached data or app-level blockers.

If the page loads fine using any of the methods above, your storefront is healthy. The in-app alert is just noise.

Still Seeing the Warning Every Time?

  1. Update your app – Make sure you’re on the latest version of Instagram or TikTok.

  2. Clear cache – Head to your device settings → App info → Storage → Clear cache (not data).

  3. Retry on Wi-Fi and cellular – Rare network issues can confuse the in-app browser.

  4. Report a problem

    • Instagram: Profile → ☰ Menu → Settings & privacy → Help → Report a problem.

    • TikTok: Profile → ☰ Menu → Settings & privacy → Report a problem → Follow prompts.

When you submit a report, include a screen recording and mention that the link works perfectly in a standard browser.

FAQ

  1. Does Rally.Fan control these warnings?
    No. Only Instagram and TikTok decide when to flag a link.

  2. Will using Linktree or another redirect fix it?
    Not necessarily. The apps scan every URL. A redirect can still be flagged.

  3. Can my account be penalized for repeated checks?
    Tapping your own link a few times won’t hurt you, but avoid excessive refreshing—both platforms watch for unusual activity.

Need Backup?

If you’ve tried everything and the warning persists, email friends@rally.fan with:

  • A brief description of the issue

  • Your Rally.Fan store link

  • Screenshots or a 10-second screen recording

  • App versions (Instagram/TikTok) and device info

We’ll investigate and give you the best next step (including draft text you can paste into the platform’s support form).

Bottom line:
Your store is safe and live. Social apps are just extra cautious. Run the quick checks, keep calm, and keep selling!
