What is BeReal?
BeReal is the unedited Instagram. At a random time in the day, this image-sharing app sends a notification, and you get two minutes to upload a photo of yourself. Your friends get to see you and what you're up to. You don't get time to pick the perfect pose, choose the perfect angle, or make the perfect edits. People love this.
Times are changiy truly are, even from the people they love. They want to celebrate their strng, and so are people. People want to remove the filters that hide who theengths, flaws, and the people around them.
Originality and transparency are leading the market, and BeReal is a frontrunner. In a world that's going virtual and running towards NFTs, AR, VR and the metaverse, it's urging people to be authentic.
Authenticity and relatability are vital because they lead to meaning and belonging - two things people search for on social media.
