iPhone · Fact-checking

Back Tap to Fact Check

Double-tap the back of your iPhone while you watch. Actually reads the claim on screen, checks it against real sources, and shows the verdict in the Dynamic Island.

Requires iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Free to start.


Three taps. One answer.

No screenshots. No copy-paste. Stay in the feed.

  1. STEP 01

    Back Tap

    Start Actually Broadcast, open any app, then double-tap the back of your iPhone. Actually captures the last few seconds of screen and audio.

  2. STEP 02

    We check it

    AI pulls the claim from what was on screen, then searches the web for sources that support it — or refute it.

  3. STEP 03

    See the verdict

    A verdict, confidence, and rated sources land in the Dynamic Island and a Live Activity, without leaving the video.

Built to keep you in the moment

Everything happens where you're already looking.

Rated sources

Every verdict cites the sources it used, each marked for credibility — so you can judge for yourself.

You control capture

Recording only runs while you choose to check something. You start it, you stop it — nothing rolls in the background.

History & streaks

Every check is saved so you can revisit the reasoning and sources, and build a daily fact-checking habit.

You start it. You stop it.

Actually Broadcast captures screen and audio only while you choose to check something. Clips are analyzed to verify what was on screen, then cleaned up. Read the full Privacy Policy.
