BeReal is the hot new social network, but to fully enjoy it, you need to add friends. If you don't know how to find friends on BeReal, we'll show you how to do it. In this app we don't follow other people, like on Instagram, but we add friends, like on Facebook. The connection is mutual: you see their post and they see your post.
The first thing to do is open the app, which is downloadable for both Android and iPhone. Upon entering, we will see a symbol with a silhouette and a + sign to its left, if we press it, we will enter the Friends window.This window is divided into Add Friends and My Friends, in the first we will search for friends and in the second we will list our friends.
From Add Friends we will enjoy several options to add friends. In the submenu Contacts in BeReal all our telephone contacts who have an account in the app will appear. They will only be available if we have granted the application permission to sync our contacts. The My Contacts submenu will appear below to invite all the people we have saved in the agenda to BeReal. But how to find friends on BeReal without their saved contact?
For those wondering how to find friends on BeReal without knowing their number, let them know that it is possible. Of course, we must know exactly your username. In Add Friends we find a search bar, at the top of the screen, where it says "Search by user".In this bar we will write the user of whom we want to add and then we will click on the magnifying glass on the right, since the bar does not offer user suggestions. If we do, BeReal will redirect your profile to us, where we will click Add Friend to send you a friend request. He must accept it.
How to add friends to see your photos on BeReal
In the previous section we explained how to add friends to see your photos in BeReal, but where are your photos? The initial screen of the app, the one with "BeReal" written at the top, is divided into My Friends and Discovery. In My Friends we will see the posts of our friends, which will be published in a vertical timeline where we can slide up or down to toggle the post. If no friends have published their daily BeReal yet, no post will appear and at the bottom of the screen it will say: "Your friends have not yet published in BeReal".
As BeReal is a young social network, you may not yet have many friends or contacts who have an account. Don't worry, you can view other users' posts from the Discovery window, next to My Friends, on the home screen. This window shows the posts of unknown users who are anywhere in the world, if you like their content, you can add them as friends. If the Discovery photos appear blurry or do not appear at all, it is because you must upload your daily BeReal. It would be unfair if you could see other people's content without uploading your own first.
How to prevent friends or family from finding you on BeReal
Do you want to prevent your mother, a relative or a very annoying friend from seeing what you post? How to prevent friends or family from finding you in BeReal is not complicated Finding a user without knowing their profile name is practically impossible, since the app does not offer you suggestions in the search bar and it is useless to type the user's first and last name.Because of this, if you block the user who wants to find you, it will be impossible for them to discover your account. To block a BeReal user, go to their profile, click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner and select Block.
The problem with this method is that it doesn't allow you to block contacts who don't have an account So if that contact is reading this article on how to search for friends in BeReal and synchronize your calendar, we can do two things. The first is to remove the application's permission to use our contacts, from the mobile settings. This will make it impossible for other users to find us by phone number but also to find the users that we have saved as contacts. The second option is to wait for them to register and when they do, block them before they try to add us.
