#BeReal
o It’s a social media app that’s been out for awhile but young people are obsessed with it and it’s blowing up right now.
o It’s all about showing your friends what’s REALLY going on in your life.
o Things like Instagram and Facebook are full of photos that we set up, pose for, or add filters to.
o But BeReal doesn’t allow any filters.
o Once a day, at a rando time, you get an alert telling you to post a picture of what you’re doing at that exact moment.
o It actually takes two pictures simultaneously…one with the front camera on your phone and one with the back camera.
o You only have two minutes to post so there’s no time to add a filter, and the app doesn’t have any editing tools anyway.
o You don't see your friends' photos until you've posted one, so you can't just creep on people without being part of it.
o If you miss the two-minute window, you can still post, but everyone will see that you did it later.
