White House launches app for real-time updates, live video and more

The White House launched a smartphone app, giving citizens a dedicated platform for administration updates, curated news and a direct link to report tips to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The app, unveiled through a post on X, aims to deliver updates from the Trump administration “straight from the source, no filter”.

What the White House app does

The app’s home page features two prominent tiles: one covering Trump's policy priorities, and another highlighting what the administration describes as his accomplishments since returning to office. Both tiles direct users to existing pages on the official White House website, as per CNBC.

A dedicated Social tab sits within the app, and at the bottom of it is a button that allows users to submit tips directly to ICE. The button links to the agency's official tip submission form, making it easier than ever for members of the public to flag individuals to immigration enforcement with just a few taps on their phone.
