BeReal: the fashion social network that triumphs for its private and spontaneous format

If in recent weeks there is an app that is being downloaded a lot from Google Play and the App Store, it is BeReal . It is a new social network that is penetrating among all the users who use the networks to show what they do and do not mind sharing it, whatever it is. The name itself gives clues as to what it intends: to be real. Today we tell you why it is succeeding and how it works. It is something similar to Snapchat, but with a spontaneous , unique and very special touch.

BeReal: a single photo a day and by surprise

The objective of BeReal is to show your friends the reality of your day at a specific moment . To achieve this, the social network has a very interesting attraction: you can only publish one photo a day, with the two mobile cameras and by surprise. How? It may seem a bit “meh” but it’s a lot of fun if you have several friends using it.

When you download the app you can add friends from your contact list or through links you have seen on other social networks. When you add a friend , they can see your BeReal and you can see theirs . The curious thing about the app is that you cannot publish many things or when you want: there is a limit of only one publication every 24 hours and you have to upload it when the app decides.

It’s time to make your BeReal! Smile and get both cameras ready

When you have the app installed once a day , and randomly, you get a notification so you can publish your BeReal . It’s never the same time and all your friends in the same time zone get the notification at the same time. Important! You have two minutes to get the BeReal.

Thanks to this tactic, the app makes sure that you are real and do not prepare yourself or only post when you are having dinner or with friends. No matter what you are doing, you must take your mobile and take a photo at that moment. And beware, the photo is taken with the front and rear camera , to be even more real.

If you don’t upload anything, you will publish a late BeReal

It’s okay if you get caught driving or napping – you can post a late BeReal . Of course, when you click on the camera icon you will only have 2 minutes to take the photo and send it.

Your friends will get a notification that says something like: “Fulanito posted a late BeReal.” If you publish the BeReal at the time the app asks you, no notification will go off, since it is understood that the rest of your friends will also be inside the app publishing their BeReal and seeing the rest.

If you don’t post anything you don’t see anything

The best asset of the app is that it forces you to publish content if you want to see the rest . If you have 100 friends who upload content, you will not be able to see that content until you upload a BeReal. And if more than 24 hours pass, it will be deleted.

In this way it stops being a social network just to “look” because you must interact if you want to see what your friends publish .

BeReal private or public

The app focuses on private content and between friends, but it does not only allow this mode. There is a tab called “Discovery” where you can see BeReal from random people anywhere in the world. Even you can configure your account as “public” and that the rest of the users of the app see your content.

It is a very interesting proposal that is becoming popular and that has more and more users. It is a social network that tries to fight against prepared content, performances and perfection in networks . What do you think? Are you going to give him a chance?
