Real images are becoming more popular. Are we getting tired of curated images?

While the world has been amused by Elon Musk and Twitter, a social media application called BeReal has been gaining popularity. An application whose users should post instant unfiltered photos and has persuaded people to depict a real image of their lives in a social media platform. Real images are becoming more popular. Are we getting tired of curated images?

What is BeReal?

BeReal is an image-oriented application that has been developed in France and launched in 2019. The app is trending now. Based on the data from Axios, BeReal ranked 4th in downloads in the US, the UK, and France for Q1 2022, after Instagram, Snapchat, and Pinterest. According to Apptopia, its monthly active users have grown 315%, which is a huge number knowing TikTok and other social apps are still growing simultaneously.

How BeReal works?

After downloading the app, users will receive a notification every day at a random time, and will have two minutes to take a photo with the front and back cameras of their phone at the same time. If they miss their two minutes, they will still have an opportunity to take a photo, but it will be mentioned that the photo has taken with delay.

Same thing happened with TikTok

Before the advent of BeReal, users through TikTok have tried depicting real images of their lives. Many TikTok users prefer it over Instagram because they see more people like themselves and less perfect and dreamy posts that can make them feel bad about their own lives. Nevertheless, TikTok filters and planned scenarios of the videos still allow curation to some extent.

But now BeReal, the no-edit instant posting application, has been recognized as a favorite app among young generation of users.

On Instagram, as a popular social media platform around the world, users post Instagram-worthy or Instagramable content — any content that contains a positive and aesthetic vibe. They would rather speak about positive aspects of their daily life and edit images with filters and sharpened colors. Instagram users still love the aesthetics, but through BeReal we are going to observe a new way of narrating life that feels more REAL.
