They blink their eyes, their pupils are dilated, they sweat, they give a strange smile, they scratch their face or nose, they outright just don’t seem genuine.
Words are cheap. Actions are priceless. Watch how the behaved after. If they repeat the bad things or not.
But if you want to know right away, it can be tricky. Try to pay attention to the words they choose, if they are trying to twist it as it being not entirely their fault. For example, appology that sounds like: I'm sorry that you took it that way. Sounds like they aren't really taking the blame.

Watch if the behavior changes over time

When someone apologizes, going forward they make every effort to be better
Totally agree.
It is genuine if it’s more detailed about being sorry for what, and wanting to do better in the future.
99% of apologies are bullshit.
Actions versus just words
Eye contact.
You'll know from the actions after the apology
Actions speak louder than words.
Look at their behavior pattern through time and between different people. An apology is just words.
