BeReal is becoming over the weeks (forgive the redundancy) in a reality. Its original premise of offering you only a two-minute window to upload your photos is taking hold, and if it’s about being real, it’s a good idea to know how to put the location on BeReal so that everyone knows where we’ve taken the photo from, especially those who are rushing their vacations in some paradisiacal destination.
In general, the display of the location in the photos is activated by default , but in any case, it is always good to remember where your 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 target audience.
In the ‘Other Options’ section, we will have to verify that a blue tick appears in ‘Share my location’. In this way, whenever 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 there you can send your BeReal to the world to be able to see the photos of the rest of the 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 photograph to BeReal has raised quite a bit of concern among users who are more jealous of their privacy. In order for the default location to appear deactivated, 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 GPS navigation.
In numerous forums and social networks there have been comments from BeReal users surprised by the incredible level of accuracy of its location system . This can pose some risks, especially if people outside your inner circle have access to your photos, 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 will quickly see the location of all your contacts at a stroke (unless they have disabled it too).
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 sinning by being ‘too’ real, sharing an excess of information that can harm users, just like the rest of Instagram. social networks. As always, it’s a good idea to use networks wisely and thoroughly understand all their functions, what they show and what they don’t.
