▶ How to put the location in BeReal
Table of contents:
BeReal is becoming a reality with the passing of the weeks (forgive the redundancy). Its original premise of only offering you a two-minute window to upload your photos is taking hold, and if it's about being real, you should know how to put the location in BeReal so that everyone knows where we took the photo from, especially those who are rushing their vacations in some paradisiacal destination.
Usually showing your location in photos is turned on by default, but it's always good to remember where its section is located in case we want to modify it.Once we have taken our daily BeReal, the next screen asks us to make some adjustments, such as the audience to which it is addressed.
In the 'Other Options' section, we will have to check that a blue tick appears in 'Share my location'. In this way , as long as you have it activated, it will appear from where you took the photo.
How to hide the location of a publication in BeReal
On the other hand, if we are more interested in taking into account how to hide the location of a publication in BeReal, the process is equally simple . If we see that the blue tick appears, we will only have to click on it to make it disappear. At the moment in which we deactivate the location, the text 'Share my location' will have to appear in white, and then you can send your BeReal to the world to be able to see the photos of other users and that they can react to your photo.
iPhone users using BeReal will find a slightly different layout than Android users. On iOS devices, just before publishing the BeReal, two clouds will appear at the bottom of the photo, one to choose the audience (all users or just friends) and the one on the right to show the location. We will have to click on this cloud and disable the location so that it does not reveal where we are.
The fact that the publication of the location is activated by default when uploading a photo in BeReal has aroused considerable concern among users who are most jealous of their privacy. In order for the location to appear deactivated by default, we will have to disable it on our entire mobile, which can be a nuisance if we need it to use other applications such as navigation GPS.
In numerous forums and social networks there have been comments from BeReal users surprised by the incredible level of precision of their location system This It can carry some risks, especially if your photos are accessed by people outside your inner circle, since the application clearly shows when the photo was taken and the location if we are not careful to disable it.
In addition, BeReal also has its own map in the application with which you can quickly see the location of all your contacts at a glance ( unless they have disabled it as well).
In its eagerness to want to differentiate itself from Instagram, although ways have already been found to capture other people's BeReals, BeReal may end up being 'too' real, sharing an excess of information that can harm others users, exactly like the rest of the social networks.As always, it is a good idea to use networks wisely and get to know all their functions in depth, what they show and what they don't.
