BeReal is releasing another feature<\/a> that seems to counter the purpose of the app: a feed dedicated to famous people. Instead of exchanging daily photos with your friends, now you\u2019ll get to see what the top athletes, artists, and activists of the world are up to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n BeReal, the app that markets itself as \u201cYour friends for real,\u201d gives you different windows of time each day to take a selfie and front-facing photo that gets shared with friends. The whole point of the app is to randomly share what you\u2019re up to with friends, whether you\u2019re doing something as boring as laying in bed or sitting in front of your computer at work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n But now, BeReal is throwing strangers into the mix. Its new feed, called RealPeople, is a \u201ccurated timeline of the world\u2019s most interesting people\u201d that features \u201can ever-changing collection\u201d of high-profile people from around the globe. The whole point of the feature is to show that celebrities are regular humans just like us (yes, really<\/em>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cRealPeople isn\u2019t about influencing, amassing likes or comments, or promoting brands,\u201d BeReal writes. \u201cYou won\u2019t see photoshopped pictures, product recommendations or ads disguised as posts. It\u2019s trying to show we\u2019re all more alike than we think.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The app is only testing the feature in the UK for now, which you can access by selecting the Discovery <\/strong>tab and then hitting RealPeople<\/strong>.<\/em> From here, you can react to posts with a RealMoji as you scroll through the timeline, as well as hide posts and report them. BeReal also notes that you can suggest someone (or yourself) for its RealPeople timeline through this form<\/a>, although it\u2019s unclear whether BeReal has users lined up for its feed already.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
