Beni app for iOS: Facebook icon/link leads to a Linkedin page

 iOS 18.6.2

Beni app for iOS (version 3.0.3)

11/30/2025

Description: 

Here's an odd issue with the Beni app for iOS. Inside of the app there's an image of a Facebook icon which implies that it connects to an official Beni Facebook account. Clicking on the icon takes me to a LinkedIn login page. Here's an archived screenshot of where the user ends up: https://archive.is/l5XAO

Please see the attached screenshots. 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the Beni app for iOS (version 3.0.3)

2. Create an account and enter into the app

3. Click on the slider in the upper left to activate the "Hey there !" slider menu

4. From the slider menu, select the Facebook icon 

Result: After the user selects an in-app Facebook icon the user is taken out of the Beni app for iOS and to a Linkedin login page 

Expected: A Facebook icon inside of the app should take the user to an official Beni Facebook page - NOT to a LinkedIn login 



In-app Facebook icon. Clicking on this icon does not take the user to an official Beni app for Facebook. It instead takes the user to a LinkedIn login page. 



Beni app for iOS: The "Learn More" link in Privacy and Security text leads to a "Page Not Found"

 iOS 18.6.2

Beni app for iOS (version 3.0.3)

Description:

Inside of the Beni app for iOS there is a text that reads as follows: 

"We take privacy and security seriously. Beni collects anonymized data only to build and improve your product experience, and only on supported retail sites."

Following this text there is a "Learn more" link.

This link is leading to "Page Not Found":

This was working some months ago (according to the Wayback Machine) but it is not working now. 


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the Beni app for iOS (version 3.0.3) and create an account

2. Click on the sidebar option (in upper left)

3. From the "Hey there !" slider menu, scroll down to the "We take privacy and security seriously" text

4. From the "We take privacy and security seriously" text select the "Learn More" link

5. Note the user is taken out of the app and left stranded on a "Page Not Found"

Result: A "Learn More" link inside of Beni app leads to a "Page Not Found" page at https://www.joinbeni.com/post/ensuring-your-browser-extension-is-safe

Expected: The "Learn More" link inside of the Beni app should lead to a valid page at: https://www.joinbeni.com/post/ensuring-your-browser-extension-is-safe
