What Does My Friend See When They Open My Shared Link or Scan the QR?
When your friend taps the link or scans the QR on a Pluang poster, it opens the Pluang app on the page you shared if they have the app. If they don't, it takes them to the app store to install Pluang first.
Where the link or QR takes your friend
| Your friend's situation | What usually happens |
|---|---|
| Has the Pluang app on their phone | The app opens on the shared asset, signal or Aura AI page |
| Doesn't have the app yet | The app store opens so they can install Pluang, and the app can then open on the shared page |
| Opens the link on a computer | The link goes to the Pluang app store pages, because Share & Post works in the mobile app |
| The shared asset is no longer listed | The app opens on the home screen |
| The shared signal has ended | The signal shows as expired |
The poster and the link show your friend what you chose to share, plus your referral code. They don't give your friend access to your account or your other holdings.
If your friend signs up for Pluang, the normal Pluang referral program terms apply. To be sure the referral is linked to you, your friend can enter your referral code during registration.

Related questions:
Q: Can my friend see my whole portfolio from the link?
No. The link opens the page you shared, such as an asset or a signal. Your account and other holdings stay private.
Q: Does my friend need a Pluang account to open the link?
They need the Pluang app. If they don't have it, the link sends them to the app store first.
Q: Why did the link open the home screen instead?
This can happen when the shared asset is no longer listed on Pluang. The app then opens on its home screen.
Q: Does the QR do the same as the link?
Yes. Scanning the QR on the poster takes your friend to the same place as tapping the link.
