RealPeople: What is BeReal’s brand new feature and how do I use it?

BEREAL has unveiled another brand new feature as the photo sharing app tries to take on Instagram and Snapchat.

The platform has added a brand new RealPeople section showing you a curated timeline of the world’s “most interesting people”.

These will vary from top athletes, artists to activists and more.

The latest addition is an attempt to open up the content on BeReal for viral moments.

Creators say RealPeople isn’t about influencing or getting famous.

It’s apparently “another step to rebalance and reset society’s acceptance of a filtered projection as real life”.

Anyone selected to appear on the RealPeople tab will give BeReal permission to include their posts on the feed.

RealPeople is coming to the UK first before expanding globally.

It comes after the app recently announced that it is experimenting with allowing people to post more than one photo a day.

Since last week, users in the UK can now opt to share three photos instead of one as part of Bonus BeReal.

So users receive two more prompts throughout the day.

They’ll still need to post on time – which is just two minutes once the notification has landed.

The changes come amid reports BeReal is losing popularity.

It went viral for allowing people to show their genuine selves unlike other photo sharing apps, by prompting users to share a photo at a random point in the day.

How to find RealPeople on BeReal

RealPeople can be found by going to the Discovery tab on the BeReal app.

Select Real People.

You can react to a post using a RealMoji.

It’s also possible to hide a post by tapping the X next to the settings button above the post.
