Is this news real or fake?
Check a claim or forwarded message before you believe it or share it.
The instant check runs privately on your device, and nothing is saved. If you use the AI assist, your text is sent securely and obvious secrets are stripped first. Either way, do not paste real passwords, card numbers or OTP codes; you do not need them for this check.
Been targeted? Here is how to report it.
Reporting helps shut scams down for everyone. Channels are shown as guidance and may change; when in doubt, start with your bank and your local police.
Common questions
How can I tell if news is fake?
Check who is really saying it (a named, trusted source), when it was published, and whether it is just trying to make you angry or afraid. Be very suspicious of anything that begs you to 'forward to everyone'.
Is this fake news checker free?
Yes, completely free and private. It runs on your own device and stores nothing.
Why do people share fake news without knowing?
Fake news is designed to trigger strong emotion (fear, anger, hope) so you share before you think. Pausing to check the source is the single best defence. That is the PAUSE and REAL instinct.
Where can I verify a claim?
Check the official website of the body involved (for example a government agency or your bank), and look for the same story on two or more trusted news outlets before believing or sharing it.
