Do you know about BeReal? The social media app is the latest to grab the attention of the younger generation – and its popularity is rising quickly.
The idea is you take a photo of whatever you're doing at that time, no matter how mundane or exciting. You could be walking to class, taking a bus to work, or maybe you get the notification right as you're sitting down for dinner or on a bike ride.
Users can also see where their friends are on a map and discover other publicly posted BeReals. The catch is before you view anyone else's post for the day, you have to post your own photos.BeReal's 315% year-to-date increase in downloads is significant, but that's not the only notable number. The app was started by French entrepreneur Alexis Barreyat in 2020, but at least 65% of lifetime downloads happened in the first quarter of 2022.
