We\u2019re grateful for the response to BeReal, which is keeping us very busy. We want to take a brief moment to answer some of the questions that have come up in the media and are on people\u2019s minds.
\nWhat matters most to us is building the best product for our users.<\/p>\n
We want for ourselves what we want for our users \u2013 not to chase fame or the spotlight or to be tethered to metrics like the number of followers or number of downloads. We don’t share our numbers, even though we see lots of rumored estimates online. In the spirit of authenticity and veracity, we\u2019ll say to take these figures for what they are\u2026estimates :).<\/p>\n
Our product is what our users want to make it \u2013 whether it\u2019s seeing what your grandparents are up to today or staying in touch with your best friends across the globe, BeReal is here to connect you to the people that matter to you.<\/p>\n
BeReal is free to use, and we don\u2019t have ads. You may be wondering if we\u2019ll have ads or how we think about monetizing the app. First, we want to stick around for as long as you\u2019ll have us, but working with brands is not our priority. There are a lot of cool things we want to build, and we\u2019re very lucky to be able to prioritize our time this way. We assure you, once we\u2019re ready to share information, you\u2019ll know.<\/p>\n
Thanks to all our users for their love, feedback, and suggestions\u2026 we\u2019re on it.<\/p>\n
