BeReal is not good (most appropriate way i could say this). It is a Privacy nightmare. Just think about it, a bunch of random strangers are getting access to every single day what you and your family are doing. I know nobody is concerned about privacy anymore. Seems like we have lost that but still Also BeReal has a bunch of Ads. And since the inclusion of Ads bereal has quickly lost in popularity. If you are searching for a Alternative, you should try out DD-DigitalDiary It doesn’t have a lot of the features like social sharing. It is basically a journaling application. But still could be a good alternative. Also there was another app Minutaie which first started this trend so i suggest you should also check it out

    Its original idea is actually interesting. Influencers always share perfectly composed scenes of their life, so it seems like they are always traveling, always doing something interesting. This app asks you at random times to please share what you are actually doing at that moment, it sends a notification when you should share, it has a window of some minutes to take a photo. You never know when the next bereal notification will show up. You can be sure, if someone always shares something interesting from their life constantly is not just faking it, it’s actually real.

    I never used it, but some of my friends do, so this is based on their explanations.

        Why is it a nightmare? The whole point of the app is to share pictures of your life. It’s only as invasive as you make it.

      That actually sounds interesting, yeah. Thanks for clearing it up, I was obviously out of that particular loop 👍
