How it works

Three steps between a claim and the evidence

No account required to read a verdict. Nothing to configure. You bring the link, InstaFact brings the reading list.

1Send it

Paste a link, or hit share on the reel

Instagram, YouTube Shorts or any short link. InstaFact sits in your phone's share sheet, so there's no copy-pasting.

2We read

The claim is checked against sources

We extract the actual claim, then compare it with published research and reporting. It usually takes about eight seconds.

Everything you need to settle it

Verdict with a confidence score

Mostly true, misleading, or false — plus how sure we are, so nuance doesn't get flattened into a badge.

Sources you can open

Every reference is listed and linked. Disagree with the verdict? Read what we read and judge for yourself.

Share-sheet capture

Send a reel to InstaFact straight from the app you're scrolling. It queues the check and pings you when it's ready.

Explore what's spreading

Browse trending claims other people are checking, sorted by verdict — a quick read on the week's misinformation.

Ask follow-up questions

Still unsure? Chat with InstaFact about the claim and it will answer from the same sources it cited.

Your own check history

Everything you've checked stays in one place — bookmark the ones worth sending to family group chats.

Built to be read on the same phone you scroll on

Verdicts open in a single screen: the reel, the result, the confidence score and the references — no tab-hopping, no paywalls in the way.

Why people trust it

We show our work, every time

A verdict without a source is just another opinion. InstaFact publishes the confidence score, the reasoning, and the references for every check — and says so plainly when the evidence is thin.

"The 'mostly true' verdicts are what won me over. It doesn't oversimplify, and it tells me when the evidence is genuinely mixed."

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is InstaFact free?+

Yes. Checking links and reading verdicts is free, and you don't need an account to read one someone shared with you.

Which links can it check?+

Instagram reels, YouTube Shorts and most public short-video links. You can also paste an article URL or type a claim in your own words.

How accurate is a verdict?+

Every verdict carries a confidence score and its sources, so you can see how strong the evidence is rather than taking a label on faith. Where research is genuinely mixed, InstaFact says so instead of picking a side.

What happens to the links I check?+

They're saved to your own history so you can find them again. Public reels you check may appear in Explore as a trending claim — never tied to your name.

Can I report a verdict I think is wrong?+

Please do. Every check has a thumbs up/down and a report option, and flagged verdicts get re-reviewed. You can also write to us at connect@instafact.co.
