BeReal’s unique selling point is authenticity. The app asks users to drop the façade of curated perfection. By updating viewer mechanics, BeReal discourages "lurking"—the act of consuming content without participating. The update serves as a nudge: if you are watching others be real, you should be prepared to be seen yourself.

: Ensure your posts aren't accidentally shared to the Discovery feed.

Stay safe, stay authentic, and stop falling for third-party phishing scams promising ghost viewers.

BeReal is a social media app that allows users to share photos and videos with their friends and followers. One of the key features of BeReal is the ability to view other users' profiles and see their posts. Recently, there have been updates to the BeReal profile viewer, which have changed the way users can interact with and view profiles.

: According to the BeReal Help Center , your posts are only shared with friends or "Friends of Friends" depending on your settings.

: Every profile has a unique shareable link (e.g., bere.al/YourUsername ), though currently, clicking these links mostly directs users to the BeReal website rather than a full web-based profile viewer. Privacy & Interaction Controls
