The White House has launched a new mobile app offering real-time updates and livestreams directly from the administration, promoted as “straight from the source, no filter.”
The app, available on both Android and iOS, highlights policy priorities and accomplishments on its home page while providing unfiltered communication from officials.
Officials said the app is designed to counter misinformation and deliver direct updates to citizens without media intermediaries.
The launch has sparked skepticism online, with critics raising concerns about privacy, surveillance, and the app’s broad permissions including location and microphone access.
Supporters argue the app strengthens transparency and direct engagement, while opponents warn it centralizes narrative control and risks misuse of personal data.
