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

    I was in high school when it first popped off so about 50-60% of teens (especially girls) were addicted/using it. I’ve never liked Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok, or similar social media sites at all, so when it first came out I thought people were saying BeReal as in “B-reel”, as if it was some sort of site where you had to make an accompanying video to another one a friend made or some shit.

    But BeReal is still known, has 10M+ downloads on Google Play, in the top 100 for social apps at 89th.
