    About BeReal

    BeReal is a French social media platform designed to encourage authenticity by requiring users to share a photo once a day at a random time. When the notification goes off, users have a two-minute window to capture a simultaneous photo from both the front and back cameras, showing exactly what they are doing in that moment. \n\nThe service distinguishes itself from traditional social media by removing filters and staging, emphasizing spontaneous and unedited glimpses into daily life. It includes a specialized 'RealBrands' track for organizations and celebrities to engage with followers in an unfiltered manner. Headquartered in Paris, the company maintains a strong focus on EU data protection standards.
