Fact-check anything you see online in just two taps. HOW TO USE ACTUALLY: 1) Answer a few questions to expose the amount of misinformation you’re seeing online 2) Set up permissions and shortcuts for Actually to activate every time you double tap the back of your phone* 3) Double back tap to instantly get the verdict of what you’re seeing* Actually is designed to combat misinformation and bias without interrupting what you’re watching. By recording your screen, it already knows the context of what you’re watching, so when you back tap, it gets the verdict and a full explanation in just seconds. The verdict shows up in the Dynamic Island (or as a notification on older iPhones) to not interrupt what you’re watching, but can always be tapped to take you to the app for more details and exact sources. Privacy is one of Actually’s biggest priorities. Actually only records your screen while you allow it to, and we will never sell you information. *ACTUALLY’S BACK TAP TO FACT CHECK REQUIRES A SUBSCRIPTION. We offer all users 25 fact checks for free, along with a free trial after that. However, a paid subscription is the only way for us to cover the costs of researching claims made on thousands of videos a day without adding annoying ads. this is app store description I made. It may be too long so I may shorten it if doesn't look good on the App Store. Just have it be this for now or lmk if theres anything you dont like about it
