It doesn't for me at all. If I go to the URL I provided in the OP, the Google server responds with a 301 status code and Location header. Both when logged into a Google account and without logging in. Strange that it behaves in a different way (?) for you.
It will probably filter the URL through Google Safe Browsing, but that doesn't help much for phishing as they mostly use new or reputable domains, and browsers check that list on default settings anyway.
That’s a fair question. The short answer is focus and simplicity.
I didn’t try to cover every possible AI photo use case. I intentionally limited the feature set to a few workflows (enhancement, avatars, creative edits) and tried to make them fast and easy to understand for first-time users.
This is also my first iOS app, so a big goal was learning how to ship something usable end-to-end rather than building a very broad tool that never quite feels finished.
I’m actively learning from early feedback and trying to improve clarity and results quality over time.
