Wanna try it for yourself ?

The user needs to save the official twilio number i.e(+1 415 523 8886), After saving this number they need to send a code to this number. For this project it is "join wet-forgot" .To redirect their messages to our servers hosted on heroku .(https://thawing-springs-11284.herokuapp.com/) . After this is done now the user just needs to forward /share any news they receive on whatsapp and they will get a message , telling them whether the news is real or fake .

Tech Stack:-
