Although it seems that the pull of BeReal has loosened in 2023, the users who are here to stay maintain their presence. It will be necessary to see if the copies of TikTok Now and the next Candid Stories of Instagram finish off or elevate BeReal. Meanwhile here we are going to explain how to create new reactions in BeReal to be able to respond to the publications of your friends and people you follow on this social network. And, best of all, it is about personalized reactions.
By default, BeReal does not have predetermined reactions.Unlike what happens in Instagram Stories, for example, where the face with hearts for eyes, the smile, the tear and others appear, BeReal forces you to create your own in a personalized wayFrom your own photo. Again, the anti-posturing social network tends to leave behind the preparation for you to take a selfie at that moment that really expresses what you want to react with.
This is the new function that Instagram wants to copyThis way, when you click on the smiley face of a BeReal photo (or when you double click on it), all the reaction options are displayed: like, smiley face, surprised face, heart face, laughing face and lightning When you click on any of these reactions for the first time, a new screen appears to take a selfie and try to capture that emotion . The emoticon that represents it is still visible at the top of the screen so that we try to imitate it in front of the camera, which appears in the center of the screen.We take the photograph and we already have the reaction created to use it on the following occasions. It will not be necessary to repeat the process every time we are going to react. However, you will have to create each of the 5 reactions initially.
How to recreate reactions in BeReal
The key here is that BeReal doesn't make things easy to create reactions again if we want to update that photo we took. How to recreate reactions in BeReal then? Well, very simple: make a long press on the reaction that we want to retake, reedit or delete.
When displaying the reactions in a photo, if we press for a few seconds on any of them, red icons appear with an X on them Very similar to what happens when you want to uninstall an application on iPhone.The reactions move to indicate that we can get rid of them by clicking on the X. Of course, a confirmation message will serve as a barrier to avoid eliminating the reactions involuntarily or without having thought about it before. If we click on Confirm, this reaction disappears and remains as the original icon, ready to be taken again but updated.
This way we can start the creation process again. Wow, we can take new photos for each of the reactions that we want and recreate them with a new style, a new background or a new, much more representative expression.
BeReal's lightning reaction
But there is a disagreement in BeReal's reactions. It comes hand in hand with the lightning reaction. In this case you will always have to take a picture to react.It is the formula to react instantly, with a new photo, expression or situation that this social network offers. So you won't have to delete and create new reactions. If you want to express something different or further customize your reaction with a different gesture, face, or situation, use the lightning bolt every time you react to a new memory or post. The previous expression in the ray will never be saved.
