Linksy: Safer social links, button type switcher and divider color fix

We’ve shipped a set of Linksy updates focused on trust and control. Visitors can now rely on the icons on your page, and you can edit your buttons more easily.

Branded icons only on genuine links

A button or social icon showing the Instagram, YouTube or Facebook logo should actually take visitors there. Linksy now checks every branded link against the platform’s real domains.

• If a branded link points somewhere else, Linksy saves it as a plain link with no misleading logo.
• After saving, a warning lists which links were converted and why.
• Look-alike addresses are caught too, for example facebook.something.com, instagram.com.example.net, letters swapped for similar-looking characters, and other domain tricks.
• Genuine subdomains and regional versions still work as before, for example m.facebook.com, pinterest.de and google.hu/maps.
• Existing pages are covered as well: links saved before this update no longer show a fake brand icon.

This keeps people from using a familiar logo to send visitors to a phishing or scam page.

Switch a button’s type in one click

Every simple button now has a Change type option (the ⇄ icon). You can turn a plain link into an Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify, Email or Website button, and back again.

• The picker has a search field, so you can type “insta” or “twitter” instead of scrolling.
• If the address doesn’t match the selected platform, you see a warning right away, before you save.
• Social icons in your header can also be switched to a different platform from their edit window.
• There’s a new neutral Website social icon (a globe) for links that don’t belong to a specific platform.

Divider colors now work everywhere

Custom divider colors were sometimes ignored when a module style was active. This mostly affected pages built from templates. Your chosen color now shows correctly in the editor preview, on your live page and in templates.
