[@haileywoo9385]

[@Thewashedathlete395]

There is group chats

[@dancemomscoco]

My mom doesn't care, she knows that it is social media as long as I don't add random people, I am between ages 11-14

[@camilleandrieu3925]

but also it tracks what u do every day and then over time the apps kniw what u like and send the right ads cos they know what u do and what stuff you would buy based on your pica

[@WhompWhomp38]

No there is no ads

[@TheAfiyfah]

@@WhompWhomp38 yet...

[@realisticmystic444]

Can you please do Locket widget?

[@mermaidhot3l]

I’m not so sure, it gets you to take random photos of you and what’s in front of you in real time exposing your location all the time, if an adult wanted to be friends with a kid on BeReal you can see how this would be a huge problem when it comes to Predators and human trafficking, that’s all it takes.

[@briIeigh]

you can disable your location and make your bereal friends only.

[@Minihacker.]

Yea but at that point what’s even the point of going outside then lol. Not trying to be rude just saying

[@Love.Mina-]

@@briIeigh yeah

[@HeyItslivi]

[@packattack1762]

[@InvertedDL]

[@haileywoo9385]

@@InvertedDLI mean even if it was her parents she’s 60 so no one should monitor her

[@landon_petersen]

Spittin

[@PreppyTok309]

Does it show your face? To random people??? That you don’t know?

[@luv4ave.]

you can choose friends only

[@Shenanigans_333]

No, only your frens

[@user-tq7zh9zw4c]

You don't know that be real expose your kids locations and that some kids have been harassed in real life after posting on the app?

[@aFandoOfLando]

It doesn’t have to show your location. That’s terrible that kids have been harassed though
