BeReal is a social media app that notifies the users to snap a picture within two minutes at a random, predetermined time each day and share it with others. Compared to another popular image-sharing platform Instagram, BeReal emphasizes its users being real without all those filters, likes, and followers. Today, it's discovered that Instagram might be taking the idea and implementing it on its platform as well.
Alessandro Paluzzi, a developer known for reverse engineering apps and finding early versions of upcoming updates, is the one who spotted the feature. An Instagram spokesperson has also confirmed it as an "internal prototype" and declined to provide additional details.
However, thanks to Paluzzi, we might be able to get a little bit of a taste of the feature. It's said that Instagram will make it as challenges called 'Candid Challenges'. Users who participate will see a notification at a different time each day to snap a photo of their surroundings. Upon getting the prompt, the Instagram camera will also open both front and rear-facing shooters and give users a two-minute window to take the pic. After that, content shared via the challenges will appear as Stories.
