How To Delete a Post in BeReal

BeReal is a new social media app that brings a breath of fresh air into the genre. Still, it’s a content-sharing platform, which means it has one trait in common with all other social media platforms: You’ll sometimes post something that seemed like a great idea at the moment but then wish to delete it immediately.

Alternatively, you may go through some older posts and decide you don’t want them on your profile anymore. Again, your first choice will likely be to delete those posts.

Luckily, deleting a post in BeReal is quite easy, both on Android and iPhone devices. This article will show you the methods to do just that. We’ll also explain how BeReal works since that’s essential both for publishing and deleting posts.

How to Delete a Post in BeReal on an Android Device

To delete a post in BeReal, you’ll need to follow three easy steps:

1. When you enter a post in BeReal, you’ll see the time and location on the right. Next to that, there’ll be an icon with three dots aligned vertically. Tap on that icon.
   
2. A popup menu will appear. Locate and tap the “Delete my BeReal” option. Don’t let the naming confuse you, though – this action will only delete the post, not the entire app or your account.
   
3. You’ll be taken to a survey where you can tell the app your reasons for deleting the post. Once you complete the survey, choose “Delete my BeReal.”
   

Your post will be deleted after completing these steps. However, you should be careful when deleting BeReal posts due to the limitations of this social media app. We’ll explain the details in a separate section below.

How To Delete a Post in BeReal on an iPhone

Deleting a BeReal post on iPhone shouldn’t be an issue for any user. This process will be nearly identical to the one for Android with only a single extra step:

1. Find the post you’d like to delete on BeReal. Once in the desired post, tap on the icon displaying three vertical dots.
   
2. You’ll see a popup window with various information such as comments and your location. Tap on the “Options” button.
   
3. Select “Delete my BeReal.”
   
4. You’ll need to complete a survey asking why you’d like to delete your post. When that’s done, you can tap on “Yes, I’m sure” to complete the action.
   

After completing the final step, your post will be gone. You should be absolutely sure that you want to delete the post.

Can I Delete a Post in BeReal From a PC?

BeReal is available exclusively as a smartphone app, at least for now. This means that, unlike other social networks like Facebook or Twitter, BeReal doesn’t have a native desktop version.

Here’s an alternative way to delete a post on a PC. You have to download a PC emulator. Once done, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to “Playstore” and sign in your credential.
   
2. On the search bar, type “BeReal,” then enter and click the “Install” button. And then, open the app to get started and input your name, birthday, and phone number.
   
3. Then look for the post you would like to delete, and you’ll see the time and location on the right. Next to that, click the three vertical dots.
   
4. A menu will appear; click on “Delete my BeReal.”
   
5. To confirm, choose why you would like to delete a post and click “DELETE MY BEREAL” again.
   

Removing Posts One Day at a Time

With BeReal, users can get a more random, immediate feel for social networking. The app was designed to provide an authentic experience and allow users to show themselves in as real a light as possible. That’s precisely why the specific rules and limitations were put in place.

You’ve learned how to delete a post in BeReal, but it’s important to remember that the action will be available only once a day. In other words, deleting a post will require almost as much attention as taking a photo in a two-minute window.
