BeReal is a unique photo-sharing social media app that has captivated many users. Along with enabling users to share the different moments of their day as images, the App also shows you the previous posts that you have shared, known as BeReal Memories, when you go to the profile page. However, recently, users have reported instances where they complained about their BeReal memories not showing on their profiles.
Normally, your BeReal posts get saved into the memories section after 24 hours of you posting the same. If you cannot find the photo in the memories, it can indicate a problem with the App.
If you are also facing a problem where your BeReal memories have disappeared or are not showing on your Profile, this article is for you. We will look into the best possible ways to fix this issue.
What Is Bereal?
BeReal was launched in December 2019 for all Android and iOS users. It is a social media platform that enables users to post only one photo daily to show others what they are doing. The prime focus of the App is on people’s authenticity.
All users receive a notification at a random time, saying ‘Time to BeReal’. Upon opening this, you get a two-minute window to quickly click a picture of what you are doing or where you are and post it on the platform. If you fail to post a picture in two minutes, you do not get to see others’ posts until you share a picture. With its unique features, BeReal is the new trending App among its users.
BeReal has a feature called Memories. 24 hours after you post a picture, it will be shifted to the memories section, where you only can see the photo after the period. You can access Memories by going to your Profile section.
Why Do BeReal Memories Not Show?
Users have reported various issues connected with BeReal memories. While some claim that BeReal memories are not loading, some have reported the memories appearing blank.
Some even complain about the memories missing from the section. Such problems are not rare in BeReal. We have listed below the various reasons why your BeReal memories are missing. The reason can be different for each person.
1. Internet Connectivity Issues:
Your BeReal posts move to the Memories after 24 hours. Although this does not require an internet connection, you require the internet to load the Memories section and view your previous posts. If your Network connection is not stable or strong, it can cause the BeReal memories to not load properly.
2. Memories Feature Inactive:
Some BeReal might not know about the Memories feature in the App. You might have mistakenly or intentionally deactivated the Memories feature.
If this is the case, your memories are not saved 24 hours after you post a picture. Also, if you deactivate memories, it instantly deletes all your Memories in BeReal. This might be the reason why the Memories section appears blank for you.
3. Bug Issues:
Since BeReal is a recently launched App, its servers still have many issues. Even though the app’s developers are continuing to make improvements, there are still bugs that can appear from time to time.
In the meantime, if older posts are not saving to Memories and you have verified that Memories is enabled on your BeReal, a bug has likely developed in your BeReal app.
4. BeReal Servers Down:
This is also a fault on the App’s side. The BeReal servers might be down due to some technical issues. This can affect the Memories section, causing it not to load properly or not display all your BeReal posts.
5. You Deleted The Memory:
Even though the Memories section is enabled on your App, you can select and delete the BeReals you do not want. It is possible that you deleted some of the memories, which is why they are no longer visible in the list.
How To Fix BeReal Memories Not Showing Issue?
Now that you know the causes behind the issues with your BeReal memories not showing let’s look into the fixes. Note that each person might have different causes for the problem. Hence it would be best if you looked for the best possible solution from the ones we have listed below. Also, if one solution does not work, you can always try the next option.
1. Activate BeReal Memories:
The first thing to check is if the memories feature is disabled in your App. If it is, you need to Activate Memories to view all your saved BeReal posts in the future. To activate memories, follow these steps on your Mobile:
- Open the BeReal App and Log in to your account.
- Click on your Profile Icon in the top right corner of the page.
- Click on the three dots in the top right corner on your profile.
4. Select the Memories option from the list of settings.
5. On the page that appears, click on the ‘Activate Memories’ option.
Your BeReal memories will be activated. Anything you post from now on will be saved to Memories after 24 hours. Note that anything you posted before activation will not be available in the Memories.
2. Check The Internet Connection:
Your Memories will not load if there is no proper internet connectivity available. To prevent this, check the Internet speed and stability using a Speedtest. Usually, a quick restart of your modem or router works, but you can always check that everything is connected correctly.
If your network connection is weak, turn Off the WiFi, use your Mobile Data, and try reloading the Memories section. Your BeReal memories should work fine once the network connection becomes right.
3. Restart The App:
A simple closing and launching of the App again might solve any minor glitches that have occurred. Close all the tabs on your phone and open the App again. You can also Log out of your account before closing the App and Log in to it again after relaunching it.
4. Restart Your Device:
If Restarting the App did not help, you can try to restart your device. This will Turn On the phone fresh and will most likely eliminate all issues with any of the Apps installed.
On iOS, press the volume down button and the side button together until a slider appears. Drag the slider and wait until the Switch Off procedure is complete. Once your phone turns Off, long-press the side button again to turn your Phone back On.
On Android, long-press the side button until the Power Off and Restart options appear. Click the Restart option until your phone automatically turns Off and On again.
5. Check For App Updates:
BeReal makers release updates from time to time. Hence, some features might not work properly if your App is outdated. This can also be the reason behind the BeReal memories not working properly.
To update the App, go to the Play Store or the AppStore, search for the BeReal App, and Install any available and pending updates.
Once the update is complete, relaunch the App and check if the issue has been resolved.
6. Uninstall And Reinstall The App:
If you have installed the pending updates and your Memories section still does not show properly, you can try uninstalling and then reinstalling the App. A fresh install will most likely eliminate all problems with the App.
You can long-press on the App icon and click on the ‘Uninstall’ option to uninstall the App. Further, you can go to the Play Store or AppStore, search for the App, and install it again.
Once the Install is complete, launch the App Log in to your account, and check if the Memories section is working properly.
7. Wait Until Servers Respond:
Nowadays, when even the biggest social media sites go down due to various glitches, this happens often with BeReal. You can check if the App is down by using DownDetector. If many people have reported the same issue, you will have no option other than to wait until BeReal fixes the glitch and the servers respond again.
8. Turn Off The VPN:
VPN services protect your connection, allow you to access content that would otherwise be unavailable, and conceal your IP address from trackers. However, many VPN services slow your connection because they have to take you through servers in faraway places before connecting you to the website you’re trying to access.
This can cause problems with the BeReal app sometimes too. If you are connected to a VPN while using the App, try turning it Off and restarting it again to see if everything works perfectly after that.
9. Clear Cache:
The cache is one of the most crucial aspects of any application you install on your phone. It stores all temporary data connected to the App. Almost all information, from your Login to the profile data, is stored in the cache.
Because the cache is an important part of the App, a minor glitch can also cause severe problems with the working of the App. This is why your Memories might have disappeared too. The best solution for this is to clear the cache and unwanted files. Follow these steps to do so:
- In the Profile section, go to the App settings and click on the ‘Others’ option.
- Click on the ‘Clear Cache’ option and proceed with the final confirmation.
10. Contact BeReal Support:
If you have tried all the methods we have mentioned above and if your BeReal memories still don’t work properly, the last option you have is to contact BeReal support.
You can always message the BeReal team through contact@bere.al or the App by following these steps:
- Tap on the three dots in the top right corner of your profile.
- Scroll down to find the ‘Help’ option.
- Click on the Contact Us option and describe your issue.
