WASHINGTON — The White House has introduced a new app designed to provide news and updates directly from President Trump’s team. According to information shared with The Post, the app has already been downloaded approximately 2 million times.

This modern smartphone app, which launched on March 27, is a blend of news releases, social media content, photos, and live video streams, catering to those seeking information straight from the source.

As of April 4, Android users have downloaded the app 1.4 million times, while Apple users have contributed 436,000 downloads by April 5, bringing the total to 1.84 million. The numbers suggest the app may have surpassed 2 million downloads due to reporting delays.

An administration official highlighted the app’s role in fostering transparency, stating, “This represents an unprecedented move towards transparency, showcasing our strategy to communicate directly with the American public, bypassing traditional media outlets. This app is a significant tool in the White House’s communication strategy.”

The reason behind the difference in download numbers between Android and iPhone users remains unclear, especially as iPhones dominate the U.S. smartphone market, while Android holds a strong position worldwide.

It’s unclear what exactly accounts for the download discrepancy between device type. iPhone users comprise the majority of the US smartphone market, with Android dominant globally.

The app promises news “straight from the source, no filter” and allows users to set notifications to buzz their phone for “real-time breaking news alerts straight from the White House on key developments, executive actions, and national priorities.”

Its description teases plans for users to “submit your questions, feedback, or messages directly to President Trump.”

It’s not the first time that Trump and his team have innovated their way around gatekeepers — with Trump building one of the largest following on Twitter during his first term, issuing direct-to-the-public posts multiple times a day.

Trump launched his own Truth Social network in 2022 after he was booted by most Big Tech giants including Facebook and YouTube following the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

The new White House app isn’t a neat match for traditional news services — meaning that even supporters of the president are likely to need supplemental content from other sources, especially if they’re seeking divergent viewpoints or a large volume of reading material.

The “news” tab included only one press release from Monday — touting the “heroic rescue” of two airmen downed in Iran — and one Sunday, featuring an Easter message promoting religious liberty for Christians, with additional briefings, official actions and fact sheets posted.

A “wire” ticker at the top of the news section includes links to outside sources, such as a New York Times story on how the “Trump Administration Celebrates Good Friday in Official Messages” and a Reuters story on accelerating job growth.

A social media tab, meanwhile, pulls from multiple accounts, including the X feeds for both @WhiteHouse and @RapidResponse 47, which serves up a firehouse of timely video clips featuring the president.

X posts promoting the app have been tagged with a community note linking to a technical analysis that claims the app “tracks users’ precise location every 4.5 minutes (foreground) via third-party OneSignal, syncing coordinates to external servers despite ‘no filter’ claims.”

“This is an AI generated community note from an account based in Hong Kong,” the administration official said. “These claims are not valid, we don’t collect any location data on users — period. We also don’t ask people to input any personal data into the app.”
