BeReal is a French social media application focused on authentic photo sharing. The app sends users a daily notification at random times, giving them 2 minutes to take and share photos without filters, edits, or retakes. Founded by Alexis Barreyat and Kévin Perreau in 2020, BeReal gained significant popularity in early 2022, particularly among college students. The company was acquired by Voodoo, a leading mobile app and games company, in June 2024 for €500 million.
