How To Fix BeReal Not Showing Screenshot

BeReal is a popular social media platform focusing on authenticity and real-time sharing. One of its unique features is the ability to notify users when someone takes a screenshot of their posts. However, there are instances when BeReal does not show these screenshot notifications. This article will guide you through the possible reasons for this issue and how to fix it.

Why Your Screenshot Notifications Aren’t Showing

There could be several reasons why you aren’t receiving screenshot notifications on BeReal. The most simple reason could be that no one has taken a screenshot of your post yet. To verify this, you can ask a friend to take a screenshot of your post and see if the notification appears.

Another reason could be that the photo isn’t current enough. BeReal’s model encourages users to post photos immediately without staging or filters. Therefore, each post is only considered relevant for that particular day. After 24 hours, the post is deemed old news, and BeReal doesn’t keep its associated notifications.

Photo Isn’t Yours

Remember, you can only see who screenshots your own posts. If you’re trying to see who took a screenshot of someone else’s post, BeReal won’t show you that information.

Details Are Blurred Out

If you see a notification next to your post but can’t view the details of the people who took screenshots, it’s because BeReal doesn’t reveal personal information on iPhones until you share your post on another social media network. Once you do this, you can view other people’s BeReal profile details.

How to Screenshot Secretly

There are ways to take a screenshot without triggering a notification on BeReal. One method is to use screen recording instead of taking a screenshot. Start recording on your mobile device, stop recording, and then use a video editor to capture the photo freeze frame you want from the video.

Another method is to take a partial screenshot. BeReal allows you to take a screenshot of less than 50% of someone’s photo without sending a notification. You can then complete the photo with another partial screenshot and splice the two together using a photo editor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What if I want to see who took a screenshot of my post but don’t want to share it with another social media network?

You can create a dummy social media account and make it private. Alternatively, you can share your post on another platform and then immediately delete it. BeReal will still reveal the information to you.

Do I have to share the post once for everyone who screenshots my picture?

No, you only have to share it once for BeReal to give you the details of every person who screenshots that photo.

Will I receive a push notification of the screenshots?

No, there are no push notifications involved with screenshots on BeReal. The only alert is the number next to your post. You will have to open the app to view the announcements.

Conclusion

BeReal’s screenshot notification feature is part of its commitment to transparency and authenticity. Understanding how it works can help you keep track of who is keeping track of you.
