BeReal Revenue and User Statistics (2024)

What is BeReal?

BeReal, of French origin, has been the favorite of the Z generation lately. The reason is that, as the name suggests, the social media app basically invites users to reality. Filters are never included in the app and you only have two minutes a day to post. This limited time is determined by BeReal itself. For this, you need to shoot from both the front and rear cameras at the same time after the notification is received on your phone. The fact that it is extremely instantaneous proves that the app is against perfectionism and the perception of popularity. The message that the app gives is as follows; “BeReal won’t make you famous. If you want to become an influencer you can stay on TikTok and Instagram.”
