We\u2019re baaack\u2026 told you it was going to be a busy summer here at BeReal! \ud83d\udd25<\/span><\/p>\n

Another new feature drop is here: <\/span>RealPeople<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

RealPeople is a curated timeline of the world\u2019s most interesting people \u2013 from top athletes, artists, activists and everything in between. It will be an ever-changing collection of who is inspiring and intriguing us from around the world but just like you, they\u2019ll be sharing real unfiltered glimpses into their daily lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With RealPeople we want to try and eliminate society\u2019s notion that public figures live in an alternate, filtered universe. And hey, it might surprise you to see you\u2019re listening to the same song as your favourite media personality \ud83c\udfb6or have the same coffee order as the good-looking F1 Driver from the telly \u2615.\u00a0 We also think those posts of musicians pausing a concert when it was <\/span>Time to BeReal were pretty cool (pardon the interruption, Harry \ud83d\udd7a\ud83c\udffb), and we\u2019re not about gatekeeping here \u2013 just as long as the person is okay with sharing their BeReal widely.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why are we launching RealPeople?<\/b><\/p>\n

As we saw with the launch of BeReal, people were excited to share and see an authentic glimpse of the daily lives of their closest friends instead of the filtered view we normally show online. We\u2019re continuing to learn a lot about how people use BeReal and how we hope we can have a positive impact on society. RealPeople is our next step in trying to help <\/span>bring out all of the things we enjoy about a connected human experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why call it RealPeople?<\/b><\/p>\n

We believe we\u2019re all just people. We\u2019re all equal \u2013\u00a0all equally interesting and boring! <\/span>RealPeople will showcase the here and now no matter who you are. That means we expect \u2013\u00a0and want \u2013\u00a0it to have people you know and don\u2019t. We hope it <\/span>will show that it\u2019s okay to BeReal no matter who you are \u2013 in fact we think it\u2019s who we each are that makes us all RealPeople.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s pause for a moment and talk about what RealPeople is <\/span>not. <\/b>RealPeople isn\u2019t about influencing, amassing likes or comments, or promoting brands. You won\u2019t see perfect photoshopped pictures, product recommendations, or ads disguised as posts. It\u2019s trying to show we\u2019re all more alike than we think.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To access RealPeople you simply go to the Discovery tab, select RealPeople, and enjoy! At launch you\u2019ll be able to interact with posts in the RealPeople timeline the following ways (more to come):<\/span><\/p>\n
