The aim of this outreach is so that people can use their smartphones to tackle hoax news. The issue of hoaxes can often become a polemic because the information or news received is fake news which can harm society. The methods used in carrying out socialization are: 1). Carrying out a Q&A process with the community, as well as; 2). Conduct outreach regarding the use of smartphones to overcome the spread of hoaxes. The results in this paper show that the seven people who initially trusted the news that was spread became aware that not all news could be trusted and that all news or information received needed to be verified through validating the news or information. Apart from that, they also understand better that smartphones are not just objects for communication and entertainment, but smartphones can be used as a medium for seeking the truth from the information received so as not to fall for hoaxes
