improvisation prevails

proposal BeReal is pushing this ‘app’ away from other social networks, like Instagram. To do this, it forces its users to stop looking for the perfect frame in their posts to improvise and encourage improvisation.

Every day, all BeReal users receive a notification at the same time at a random time that changes throughout the week. From the moment it receives the notification, the ‘app’ gives you two minutes to simultaneously take pictures from two perspectives: from the ‘smartphone’ rear and front lens.

user repeat the photo an unlimited number of times within this two-minute window, but once published, the image can only be deleted and replayed once. Also, the ‘app’ does not have filters or other editing mechanisms unlike other apps of this type.

That way, only one photo can be uploaded per day, and if the user doesn’t upload it within two minutes after receiving this notification, they can post an image later. However, the entire user base receives the notification at the same time, so any subsequent releases are outside of BeReal’s dynamics.

this the photo posted by the user is displayed in their ‘feed’ for the next 24 hours, With a ‘selfie’ called RealMoji, you will be able to get comments and reactions that disappear after this time.

My Memories Library

To see photos shared by other people in the ‘app’, users need to upload their own photos before.. If they don’t, they won’t be able to view other users’ images until 24 hours after advance notice.

These photos are organized in two parts. The first is ‘My Friends’ (‘My Friends’), where pictures of contacts are displayed. Next to this is ‘Discover’ (‘Discover’), where you can also see photos of other users.

In this sense, it’s worth remembering when uploading the daily image that users can choose whether they want to share it with their contacts only or in the ‘Discovery’ section, taking into account other BeReal users.
