Just like the actual app, this coming BeReal RealChat direct messaging feature might be a sensation. The roll-out of this feature will cause excitement among users of the BeReal social media app. When the app became available back in 2020, it took some time to build up momentum among netizens.
Two years after the app’s launch, it started getting a lot of attention from users around the world. Those who were looking out to break a social media addiction whilst being a bit engaged in posting from time to time. In the year 2022, the BeReal app won the Apple iPhone App of the Year.
Now it is time for new features on the app, and some beta testers are already experimenting with a direct messaging feature. This will help users of the BeReal app to better connect with their family and friends on the platform. The company also promises users that the direct messaging feature will give users control over whom they interact with on the platform.
Asides from posting frontback pictures, users can access a direct messaging feature
The entire concept of the BeReal app is to show what you are doing at a given time. This app gives users 2 minutes every day to post what they are up to via a frontback image capturing format. To do this, the app employs the users’ front and rear cameras to capture a selfie and a main camera image.
Users of the app don’t get to pick the time of the day, they get the notification to make a post in under 2 minutes. By doing this, the app can get users to share a realistic part of their everyday life without any filters or fakery. This makes the BeReal app stand out from other social media apps available to users around the world.
But for a long time now, this ‘anti-fakery’ social media app has not had a direct messaging feature. Users have long clamored for a direct messaging feature on the app and finally, they will get it. BeReal currently has a feature known as RealChat that is in its testing phase and will let users chat with one another.
Asides from giving users the ability to chat with one another, this feature also lets them block and report other users. This protective feature is to be put to use whenever a user feels threatened by another user while chatting. At the moment, this chatting feature is not ready for global usage as it is undergoing tests.
In the coming weeks, BeReal will roll out the RealChat direct messaging feature globally. This will give users a new way to interact with one another while on the BeReal app. More information on this feature will be available in the coming weeks.
