Anyone on this?

The idea is everybody gets a notification at the same time to BE REAL and you have 2 minutes to take a picture of whatever you're doing at the time, with no filtering capabilities. It takes two pictures actually, one of what you're looking at and one of your face.

The app is quite INFURIATING actually, often it doesn't LET YOU take a picture when it's time to Be Real :goodgrief: Also if you post late everyone gets a notification about it, in quite a public shaming sort of way :shy:

I was on it for a while but after the 15th day in a row of me sitting at my desk, I quietly wound down my presence.

It has led to some good memes though



 
I downloaded it, but as someone who spends five days a week at a desk in the corner of my bedroom I do not think I am the target audience.
 
It's big with the youngsters but it's growing in popularity - several of my (non-teen!!!lol) friends are just hopping onboard around now.
 
You're not forced per se but you can't see anyone else's posts for that day unless you do one yourself.
 
I have said it before and I say it again, teens are idiots

As someone who knows quite a lot of teenagers :side-eye:, they're really not (well many are, but you know).

In anything wasn't it OUR generation that first hopped onto social media? The addiction to social media is SOCIETY WIDE and this nonsense really is no different to any pre social media fad.
 
I'd seen the memes but didn't get what was going on. Thank you for enlightening me dUb.

I shan't be downloading. :) (or I'll download it once, not understand how it works and swiftly banish it to the annals of all the other apps I've never worked out with Snapchat, and that one that's meant to get you to discover new places...)

The older I get the less inclined I am to post anything on any form of social media. I finally joined Insta this year and it’s nice for a nosey at what people are up to, but I just never feel inclined to do the selfie thing unless I’m on holiday, so I haven’t posted anything since May.

Anyway, this new one sounds like hell.
 
dUb always with a finger on the pulse for TEEN TRENDS.

I’ve been using it for the past few months... it’s fun to see what people are doing in the moment

This. Most of the teenagers I know are cool and I like a lot of gen z more than millennials

Well I've had a ⚡ and a 👍 reaction so far :eyes:


I had a scroll through some others and it's all a bit DULL. Sorry to those who are enjoying it. 😙

I've got teenagers in the family, so it feels a bit OFF to me to want to be into it.

Probably a bit like if my grandad had started buying Look-In in the 70s.
 
An app for teens that takes a picture of you and what's in front of you and sends it to everyone? What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
