The posted BeReal notification triggers a nearly synchronized dance between the app’s users: when the warning rings, it’s time to take a selfie and quickly aim for what you want to show your followers. That’s because the app only allows you to post one photo per day and comes with a series of tools to encourage the photo to be as natural as possible.

User has 2 minutes to take pictures The photo that goes to the feed takes specific information, such as the number of attempts made until the final result, if the user posted within two minutes (the time set by the app) or for those who arrived later, how long after the post was posted.

At that moment, a cell phone camera-like screen appears and just tap the capture button to record. The front and back photos are taken one by one, and after taking them, you just need to tap Presents.

To interact with friends’ posts, BeReal allows each user to customize unique reactions from their face, a feature called realmoji. As a standard for all subjects, the network allows recording of reactions such as “thumbs up,” “happy face,” “surprised face,” “emotional face,” and “laughing face.”
