iPhone users have the same honest toolkit as everyone else:
- Deepware Scanner: checks in Safari, no app required. - FakeCheck: upload from Safari or Photos, verdict with explanation. - C2PA Verify sites: check for content credentials before running any detector. Signed authentic beats analyzed suspicious. - Metadata viewers: EXIF data does not prove authenticity, but missing or stripped metadata on a "photo" is a yellow flag. - Reverse image search: long-press in Safari, search the image. AI fakes often trace to generator galleries.
