What's happening?

Your phone buzzes. You have two minutes to take a picture showing where you are right now, and what you are doing. It is time to be real. 

BeReal is an app. Everyday, at a different time, it asks users to take one picture - and only one picture. There is no time to put on any make-up or find a group of friends to take a photo of.
