Identify the AI generator app that produced the content (Synthesia content on iMessage)

Why this matters for Synthesia content on iMessage

• Identity verification for custom avatars limits NCII vector but stock avatar misuse for impersonation remains a documented issue.
• iMessage group chats can include up to 32 participants and content can be forwarded to additional chats with one tap. Read receipts and typing indicators provide attribution that supports law enforcement subpoenas.
• Synthesia content distributed through iMessage typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and cross platform redistribution.
• Source attribution to Synthesia is critical for identify source app because it establishes the AI generated nature of the content, which strengthens statutory claims under 47 USC 223a regardless of whether the depicted person ever existed in unaltered form.

How AI generator removal works

What to do, step by step

1. 01
   Preserve evidence before any other action Capture full page screenshots with the URL bar visible, save the highest resolution copy of the content available, and document the Synthesia fingerprint indicators including synthesia outputs use specific avatar templates with recognizable presentation styles. Highest resolution copy of the content available, ideally the original file before redistribution compression
2. 02
   Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms Synthesia content distributed on iMessage rarely stays there. ScanErase indexes 2.4 billion face embeddings across 200 plus platforms and identifies every current hosting location in a single scan, including additional Synthesia variations.
3. 03
   Complete the source attribution documentation Synthesia outputs use specific avatar templates with recognizable presentation styles. Stock avatar output is distinguishable from custom or unauthorized avatar use. Document the matching characteristics with side by side comparison samples and forensic notes. This documentation supports authentication under Federal Rules of Evidence 901.
4. 04
   Document the Synthesia source attribution Synthesia outputs use specific avatar templates with recognizable presentation styles. Stock avatar output is distinguishable from custom or unauthorized avatar use. This attribution evidence is critical for the legal record and supports stronger statutory claims regardless of which specific action you pursue.
5. 05
   Coordinate with iMessage platform removal Apple accepts iMessage NCII reports through its Communication Safety reporting flow. The iOS 17 sensitive content warning system can also be used to flag content for review.
6. 06
   File the complete evidence record for the legal track Federal Rules of Evidence 901 for authentication of digital evidence provides the foundational legal basis for this action. Document every notice sent, every platform response, and every confirmation in a single evidence file. ScanErase produces this Verified Removal Package automatically as your case progresses.

Legal context
