BeReal is a social media platform that encourages users to post unfiltered, natural photos within two minutes of receiving a notification. It was created in France in 2020 and aims to promote moderate use of technology by discouraging the creation of false aesthetic standards or presenting fake Hollywood-like lifestyles. To use BeReal, download the app from Google Play Store or App Store, create an account by answering questions about your name, date of birth, phone number and verification code sent via SMS. You can add more details such as bio and location information once you have signed up. When you receive a notification from BeReal, take a photo without filters or effects within two minutes using the camera on your device and post it on your profile for friends to see. You can also interact with others’ posts by selecting an emoji reaction and publishing it on their post. Personalize your account by adding details like bio information and profile picture using the camera feature provided in-app.
