Why WhatsApp May Show a “Scam” or Security Warning When Linking to TimelinesAI
When connecting your WhatsApp account to TimelinesAI using the QR code, you may occasionally see a WhatsApp message such as “This may be a scam”, “Suspicious device”, or “Unusual login attempt.”
This can be concerning, but in most cases, it is expected and completely safe to proceed.
This article explains why this happens and how to know when it’s safe to continue.
Why the Warning Appears
WhatsApp displays security alerts whenever a new device attempts to connect to your account — especially if the login request comes from a location that seems different from where you normally use WhatsApp.
TimelinesAI operates secure cloud servers that may be hosted in regions such as the United States or Europe.
So when you scan the QR code, WhatsApp sees the connection as coming from another geographic location and may trigger a protective warning.
This does not indicate that your account is at risk.
Is it safe to continue?
Yes — if you are scanning the QR code from within your TimelinesAI workspace, it is safe to approve the connection. TimelinesAI never initiates a connection without your action. The QR code is generated only when you explicitly request to connect or reconnect your WhatsApp number. When you confirm the connection in WhatsApp, you are simply authorizing your own secure TimelinesAI environment to sync messages.
Other Reasons WhatsApp Might Show a Warning
In addition to region differences, WhatsApp may display a warning if:
You recently reinstalled WhatsApp or switched devices
There were recent login attempts (even legitimate ones)
Account Protect is enabled on your WhatsApp account
Security checks are triggered due to unusual activity
WhatsApp is performing extra device verification in the background
These checks are part of WhatsApp’s efforts to keep accounts secure and do not indicate that TimelinesAI is unsafe.
What You Should Do
If you:
Initiated the connection from TimelinesAI
Clicked Generate QR Code
Are scanning the QR code shown in your workspace
…then you can safely approve the connection even if WhatsApp displays a warning.
