When was BeReal born?
The application was born in December 2019 and recently became fashionable first in the United States and now also here. It is available for free for Android and iOS devices.
Why is BeReal different from other social networks?
The name of this new French app already says it all; “BeReal”, translated into our language, would be “to be real”. The core of this new proposal is there: a social network in which all gloss and imposture is prohibited and that only leaves room for spontaneity and reality.
Very different from solutions like Instagram with its filters and TikTok with choreographed ballets. With BeReal, users do not have nor the possibility, nor time to select shots and poses. The intention and motto of this social network is simple: show your friends as they really are and not how they want to appear.
No more influencers, fake vacations, sponsorships, filters and super modified shots, the app tries to encourage interactions between people who already know each other in the real world.
How does BeReal work?
If real. It works very intuitively and upon first startup a short tutorial is shown that explains how the social network works:
The rules are very simple: when you receive the notification, once a day, at a random but contemporary time for you and your friends, you have two minutes to make a post, in whatever situation and place you are in at that moment.
It will be included in the publication. Everything your front and rear cameras see.. Once you have taken the photo you can only choose whether to show it only to your friends or to everyone and whether or not to allow geolocation (which is actually very precise).
The publication may also be late. but this will be indicated by a writing that indicates so. If you miss the publication of the photo of the day and until it is published, you will not be able to access the photos published by our contacts and other users in the same period of time.
Among the information attached to the post, our friends will also be able to see the number of attempts that anticipated the chosen shot. Everything in Bereal is designed to bring users maximum spontaneity.
The rest: With each new notification from BeReal, the content previously published by you and your friends will no longer be visible, but you will always have access to the old ones"Real”and you can also download them.
At BeReal there is no "as“; Users can react to posts with realmoji which are selfies in which the expressions of a classic emoji are reproduced. Basically, every time you react to a post you will have to put a face to it.
There is also the ability to add written comments to posts, but the app does not widely advertise this feature. In the section "Discover“, it is possible to browse and see the Reals taken around the world by all other users.
Is BeReal a boring social network?
The answer is: it could be: Our average life is boring and it's unlikely that by taking a photo at a random time of day you'll be able to catch us or our friends doing something crazy or epic. BeReal serves to remind us of this: that our life and that of our friends is overall very similar, is not made up of dinners in fancy restaurants and vacations in exotic places and crazy experiences but often consists of many small and precious daily moments.
Obviously it is not a social network suitable for those who take two hundred photos before publishing one or for those who do not leave the house if they do not have every strand of hair perfect. BeReal will make us see those we know in a different way, more authentic, perhaps also helping those who feel more insecure about looking natural.
How to earn with BeReal?
The beauty of this social network is precisely this: there is no advertising, no influencers or sponsorships. In practice there are no ways to monetize content and that's okay.
Those who share their photos on BeReal do not do so to win or show off, but simply to share moments of their day with the entire community and their friends.
