Truth Social review
A free social network for posting, sharing, and joining groups.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Truth Social is a social networking service for people who want to publish public posts, share others’ posts, and take part in groups. Users create profiles with an avatar, banner, bio, location, and website link, then publish posts called Truths. The service is available on the web and through iOS and Android apps, making it a fit for individuals and small groups looking for a straightforward social space rather than a broad publishing or community-management suite.
Groups are a central part of the offering. They can be public, require approval to join, or be private, giving users different ways to shape participation. Direct messaging supports one-to-one conversations, while search within profiles and groups helps locate original posts. These features make Truth Social relevant to people who want both open posting and more bounded conversations. Its described scope is focused: the available features center on posts, reposting, groups, messaging, and search rather than a larger set of community tools.
Truth Social says account creation is free, with no payment or credit card required. The service runs across web and mobile, and the codebase is described in its terms as open source and derived from Mastodon. That description should not be confused with network federation: the service's stated federation protocol is none. Choose Truth Social if free posting and multiple group privacy options matter more than cross-network reach. It may be a poor fit for people who need documented federation or a specified post-length limit before choosing a social platform.
