Does BeReal Notify Screenshots? Guide for How to Capture

There are many social media networking sites around the globe. Each site has its own set of rules and regulations. Some are concerned about privacy, and some are not. Social media sites notify the user that someone has taken a screenshot on SnapChat like their snap or story.

On the other hand, Instagram doesn’t. BeReal is a new social media platform almost similar to Snapchat, where you send snaps of what you are doing at that time of the day. The only difference is that BeReal will tell you when to send a photo.

It will notify you; you must upload a photo of what you are doing then. Sound interesting? But what if someone screenshots your photo? Does BeReal notify screenshots?

In this article, we’ll tell you what BeReal is all about and whether BeReal notifies users of screenshots.

What is BeReal?

BeReal is a social media network that was developed in France. It has taken tremendous growth in the past year. As the name suggests, you have to be Real on the app. The app will notify you, and you must upload a picture of both your front and back cameras. You can always access your posts in the Memories part of the app, but after a day, your friends won’t be able to see them, and vice versa.

So, people resort to taking screenshots of those photos. But does it notify the user who has uploaded the photo? Let’s check that out.

Does BeReal Notify You When You Take a Screenshot?

BeReal, unlike Snapchat, doesn’t notify you that someone has taken a screenshot of your photo. They subtly treat the concept of screenshots. What they do is they will display a tiny icon next to your BeReal picture on the main page. That icon will open up all the people who have taken screenshots of your photo. So, unless someone manually goes into that tiny icon and opens the list, they’ll not know whether you have taken a screenshot of their photo.

Why Do Users Take Screenshots on BeReal?

Most of what you post on BeReal is only accessible to your friends briefly, unlike on other social networking platforms like Facebook or Instagram, where it is public. The BeReal app’s Memories section is where you’ll find every photo you’ve ever posted to the service, but your friends won’t be able to access them after 24 hours of posting them.

Similarly, photos from friends that are more than a day old will disappear from your “My Friends” stream on the BeReal app. You can only save images from a BeReal if you take a screenshot, so if you think you observed something exciting or if a friend tagged you in their BeReal and want to save these pictures for later, you’ll have to do so manually through screenshots.
