When it comes to social media, our innocence has been lost. What was once fun and lighthearted has been riddled with scandals ranging from data breaches to depression and social division. What if there was a better way? A new player called BeReal has risen to be currently the most downloaded app in US. It’s the “anti-social media” social media. But will it last? Let’s take a look.

38 thoughts on “BeReal Social Just Became the Most Downloaded App

  1. But also like, if it truly wants to be anti-social media, why does the app even need to exist? If people truly only add their close friends, don't want to see ads, and don't use the discovery page, how is this any different than having a group chat with friends where you occasially share photos of whatever you're doing? It just seems like a useless app for something actual groups of friends already do.

  2. I now understand why the sudden change in beahavior from certain groups of people after watching two mins of this video and all I can say is HISSSSSSS, I GONNA SCRACTCH YOU!

  3. and here I thought this "anti-social" media will filter other applications in our devices to train us not to depend too much in it lol

  4. If ppl won't get real, social media will just die. We are tired of fake-looking models, hyper reality, fake accounts, fake comments, and fake photos and names.

  5. The fuck you mean most downloaded… 10mil+ on google play is nothing compared to Twitter, TikTok or Instagram which all have 1B+. That is some next-level clickbait.

  6. Me, listening to the former facebook executive as someone who never touched a single social media app beside whatsapp for family and friends for my entire life:
    "I like your funny words magic man."

  7. I have boycotted all social media apps! Happier for it! It’s up to each individual not to give away personal power & become enslaved to these apps!

  8. Facebook and twitter pales in comparison to video games for dopamine rush. There are also plenty of herbal MAO-B inhibitors, many in common food-spices and teas, including green tea and black pepper, that can enhance your dopamine experience.

  9. more apps to get people spend more time with their devices? That's really bad. I just use apps as a tool for editing and creating stuff. Technology is a tool, not our master.

  10. this sounds like some big brother monitoring with daily 2minutes reports shit.
    nothing about being real.
    I will use this app only at gunpoint!

  11. I love BeReal! See so many comments under here saying it gives people anxiety about their life looking too boring. That comes with every social media app though. Personally, I only have my closest circle of 3-4 friends on my BeReal. It's a good way to keep up with each other everyday. 99% of our posts are mundane everyday things but it's still a good way to keep in touch

  12. I tried Facebook for a couple weeks back in my sophomore year of high school (so 2007 I think). It was nothing but people posting images stating “if you love Jesus you’ll send this to all your friends.” After that two weeks I had enough of religious chain mail and deleted the account.
    Since then the closest thing I’ve ever had to social media is YouTube, and even then I only created an account to not be stuck with kids videos.

  13. Its not going to last because its easier just to delete Instagram then use another app in spite of Instagram. Also those who dont use Instagram don't see any reason to join.

  14. These new french companies like yubo and now this bereal are so dodgy.. yubo brought out a feature that requires u get facially scanned by them in order to use the app..

  15. Likely no thanks to the app… A big thanks to you, however. Thank you for being authentic & presenting something of interest to you [+every1's life] – out of genuine interest.. Not just a promotion. ❤️
