BeReal, the French social media app that forces users to post daily selfies, has introduced a private messaging feature called RealChat, which is one of the most requested features. Users can only message friends on the platform, and both parties have to delete a message for it to be removed. The app has faced criticism for its messy approach to social media, but the RealChat feature is expected to boost time spent on the app and allow for private commenting on posts.
BeReal, the social media app that prompts users to take a front-and-back camera photo to share with friends, is adding a private messaging feature called RealChat. Users can message one-on-one with friends, send private BeReals, and react with RealMoji. The chat system will launch with blocking and reporting features, and users can delete their own messages. Private messaging is one of the most commonly requested features from users. BeReal has 20 million daily active users and has raised $60 million in a Series B round, but has no ads or paid features yet.
