What are content credentials?
Digital certifications verifying alert authenticity
Content credentials are digital certifications that verify the authenticity and source of information in PHapp alerts.
Why Content Credentials Matter
Content credentials help ensure:
- Alerts come from verified, official sources
- Information hasn't been altered or tampered with
- You can trust the guidance you receive
- Misinformation is prevented
How They Work in PHapp
Every alert in PHapp includes content credentials that show:
- The original source agency (CDC, NWS, FDA, USDA, etc.)
- When the alert was issued
- Verification that the content is authentic
- Chain of custody for the information
Viewing Content Credentials
You can view an alert's content credentials by:
- Opening any alert in PHapp
- Scrolling to the bottom of the alert
- Looking for the "Source" or "Verified by" information
This transparency helps you make informed decisions based on trustworthy information.
