It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore::Social media is on the decline. Instagram is all ads. No one's posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats.

Yes. Its a social app that will randomly ask you to post about what you are doing and it will use both front and back cameras for the post.

It was suppose to portray a more causal, carefree experience. As opposed to insta where people stage or try to show off. That's how it was explained to me.

it works well for small family groups - my parents are older and its cool to see what they are up to during the day, and they get to see their grandkids too.
