Actually — Back Tap to Fact Check Misinformation doesn’t wait for you to open a browser. Actually helps you verify claims the moment you encounter them — in videos, podcasts, news stories, social posts, and on-screen articles — without interrupting what you’re watching. How it works Start Actually Broadcast from the home screen (system screen recording sheet). Keep browsing or watching as usual. Look for REC in the Dynamic Island. Double back-tap (or run your Back Tap shortcut) to fact-check the last ~18 seconds. See progress and results on the Dynamic Island / Live Activity, then open the claim for sources and detail. Built for real-world scrolling Spoken claims — Captures recent app audio, transcribes it, and extracts checkable factual claims. On-screen content — When there’s little or no speech (for example a news site or caption-heavy post), Actually can analyze recent screen stills so text and visuals can still be checked. Share for review — Share a link or screenshot into Actually when you want a deeper pass on something you saved. Clear verdicts, not vibes Actually normalizes claims, then verifies them with web-backed evidence. You’ll see supported / refuted / mixed / unclear-style outcomes with short explanations and sources you can tap into — so you can judge for yourself, not just trust a slogan. Stay in the moment Keep using YouTube, TikTok, Safari, podcasts, or news apps. Results surface on Dynamic Island and Lock Screen Live Activities so you don’t have to leave mid-scroll. History keeps recent checks so you can revisit claims and sources later. Privacy-minded by design Screen broadcast and fact-checking run when you choose to start them. You control when recording begins and ends from the system broadcast UI. Use Actually intentionally: start when you want to verify, stop when you’re done. Perfect for Checking claims in viral videos or short clips Verifying headlines and captions while reading the news Catching questionable claims in podcasts and commentary Building a habit of “pause and verify” before you share Tips for best results Wait for REC in the Dynamic Island before back-tapping. Leave Broadcast running for a few seconds of the content you care about. For silent pages, stay on the article briefly so on-screen content can be captured. On first use, allow Speech Recognition, notifications, and Live Activities when prompted. Stop guessing. Start checking — Actually.
