Tech InDepth: Meet BeReal, the most intriguing social media app in years

Social Media in 2022 has come far from its early roots and for many, it is a full-fledged business today. With the ‘life-sharing with friends’ aspect taking a backseat, modern social media via apps like Instagram and Snapchat centre around numbers and perfection.

Enter BeReal, an app with an approach that actually feels fresh, at least for now. BeReal is centred around sharing what’s been really up with your life lately and hence, doesn’t concern itself with ads, followers or any other elements that may steer the experience away from its core – sharing your daily life with friends.
