BeReal: the French alternative to TikTok and Instagram

BeReal 🇫🇷 is a French social networking app that was created by Alexis Barreyat and Kevin Perreau in France in 2020.

It’s seen as a rival to apps like Instagram or TikTok and it’s got features that have been copied by Instagram recently.

But some people see it as more of an ‘anti-Instagram’ because you can’t edit your photos, use filters or see how many followers you have. 🚫

So, what’s the deal?

It’s basically a photo-sharing app that encourages users to share a daily photo of their real life without filters or editing, using both the front and rear cameras on their device. Every day, users are given a fun and unexpected notification at a random time, giving them just two minutes to take and post a photo. You can choose to share your photo with friends or more people. 📸

It’s already got 23 million users worldwide (but you don’t hear about it much in the mainstream media). Check out some interesting growth stats about BeReal here: 📊
