Wondering how to make your BeReal public? We've got you covered!
Despite some bugs such as the BeReal notification not working occasionally, it seems users have embraced this unique photo-sharing app. It is a shining example of BeReal's success that Instagram has copied the BeReal concept for their latest feature, Candid Challenges.
Since the app is relatively new, users are still learning about its features and how to tweak them. For example, many users were struggling to figure out how to delete a BeReal photo or how to retake a BeReal post.

Fortunately, we're here to help! This article will help you understand how to make BeReal public.
Is BeReal Public?
By default, your BeReal is not public. The photos you share are only visible to your friends. However, it is possible to share your BeReal posts publicly.
When it comes to privacy and security, BeReal is a lot like Snapchat. All BeReal posts disappear when a new notification to post your BeReal arrives. In other words, your BeReal posts get automatically deleted after 24 hours, like Snapchat.
In addition, BeReal also notifies screenshots, letting you know who has taken a screenshot of your post. Another notable feature is that a user can view other users' BeReal only if they post a BeReal of their own. The app makes sure everyone is participating.
