BeReal is a social media platform that asks users to take a quick snapshot of an ‘authentic’ moment during their day to share with their followers. It’s grown popular among children and young people as a way of showing off their daily life in a less curated way, but are there any potential privacy risks when using the app?

Visit the ‘Social Media’ section of the Safer Schools NI App for a dedicated page on BeReal, the core functions, potential safety hazards as well as top tips on how to speak to the child or young person about being careful when sharing photos online.
