How To Delete A BeReal When You Want A Do-Over

If you couldn’t tell by the name, the purpose of the BeReal app is to share unfiltered, real-time moments. But even if you really believe in posting, once you see the words “It’s Time To BeReal” on your screen, you might end up posting a little bit to real, and need to dismantle it as soon as possible. Luckily, removing a post is that easy – you just need to know where to look. Here’s what you should know about deleting a BeReal so you’re prepared when the time comes.

BeReal users know how important it is to take your BeReal within two minutes of receiving the random post notification every day. But if you snap a photo too quickly, you could end up posting a photo of something you shouldn’t have, like your best friend’s birthday present or that pile of dirty laundry you finally decided to take to the laundromat. It might be frowned upon, but it’s possible to delete a BeReal so even if you accidentally hit submit on your post, you can still get a replay. The best part is that you have one more chance to post on the day, which means you can pretend nothing happened.

Whether your BeReal could spoil a surprise or you’re looking to up your selfie game to impress your crush, here’s how to delete a BeReal after getting too involved with BeReal.

How to delete a BeReal

OK, so you regret your BeReal: don’t panic, it’s easy to take off. Once your photo reaches your feed, you will see a three dots icon below your BeReal next to the time your post was taken. You start there to delete your BeReal – here’s how to do it:

• Tap on those three dots to go to the popup that shows you how many times you’ve retaken your photo and other stats. You will not see an option to delete your BeReal on this page, but do not leave it too quickly because you will need it.
• In the lower-right corner of the pop-up, tap Options. You have two options: delete My BeReal or cancel. (If you accidentally click on the “Delete my BeReal” option, don’t worry as your BeReal will not be removed immediately.)
• You will be redirected to another page to confirm that you want to delete your post. You need to Select the reason why you are deleting your BeReal and you can choose out Options like “I don’t like my BeReal”, “An error occurred while recording” and more. Select your reason and tap the red “Yes, I’m sure” button at the bottom of the page.

After that your BeReal will be deleted (sorry I had to).

If you decide not to delete your post, you can opt out by tapping the “I’ve changed my mind” button above it.

Can you post a BeReal after deleting a post?

Deleting your BeReal might feel like the end of the world, but you actually have one more chance to get your photos just right. That’s right, just because you deleted your BeReal for the day doesn’t mean you aren’t barred from posting another.

How many times can you delete a BeReal?

Once your new post is online, there’s no turning back – according to the Delete My BeReal page, you can only delete a BeReal once per day. So, if you decide to make a second post, you had better take that into account as you don’t have the option to delete it.

Whether you don’t want to spoil a surprise or need an overhaul to get your look on point, deleting a BeReal is absolutely possible.
