You have to hand it to the small and scrappy social media app BeReal for having the audacity to go up against more successful social media brands like X/Twitter and Instagram, but after being in business for 4 years they recently released that they have 23 million daily active users (DAUs) on their platform. 

If you’ve never heard of BeReal, then you probably don’t have a tween or teen in your family.

The quirky social media company focuses on real content and users’ photos that are not filtered or curated. When their users snap a pic the app takes a photo from both the front and back-facing cameras to the “real” story about a user’s post.

BeReal is now beginning to onboard brands and celebrities, or at least “Internet Famous” social media users, to their platform.
