BeReal is a popular French social app that encourages users to take random photos every day. It allows users to post candid and authentic pictures of their friends. Similar to BeReal, TikTok Now prompts users to capture random pictures at random times of the day using their front and rear cameras. The only catch is that users can’t edit their images in any way.
BeReal-inspired Feature Called TikTok Now
TikTok has a new feature called “TikTok Now,” which is inspired by BeReal’s daily photo prompt. This feature allows users to post a picture or video of themselves using their front or back camera. Users will be notified daily about a new prompt and can post a video or photo of themselves using the front and back cameras at the same time. The feature will also have its own dedicated tab for video content.
This feature is an experimental beta that will only be available for some users for now but will be available in other regions soon. While it looks similar to BeReal, it has some differences. For example, it has a three-minute posting limit, while BeReal only allows users to share videos up to 30 seconds. You can access the feature by tapping the ‘Now’ button on the bottom navigation bar. After you’ve done this, you’ll receive a prompt daily to take a ten-second video.
BeReal’s success is proof of the growing appetite for authentic expression and that even global Goliaths are not immune to disruption. BeReal’s popularity has prompted competitors to mimic its platform and similarly engage users. BeReal is a small, independent company. TikTok’s success will depend on whether it can tap into this appetite for video content.
This feature was originally from BeReal. It is a social media app that allows users to post spontaneous videos of their lives. It was designed to make users capture moments of their lives at the moment and share them with friends and family. Although TikTok has been criticized for attempting to imitate BeReal, it still has the edge over the app. It offers more privacy options to users and gives them a limited amount of time to post. Additionally, it lets users use both the front and back cameras simultaneously.
Conclusion
The TikTok Now feature works similarly to BeReal, with the same basic rules as the popular video app. Users must make sure to use both the front and rear cameras. Unlike BeReal, which limits sharing to friends, TikTok Now will let users share their posts with the world at large. However, it will restrict sharing to friends by default and automatically restrict posts for younger users. Moreover, some users have already compared TikTok Now to BeReal.
