I'm not sure I understand the concept. So the app chooses a random time of day to send an alert, at which point everyone in a group gets to post whatever they want? When the window ends then there are no more posts until the next day? Are you in the groups with the kids?
You're allowed to post later, though this will be visible with your post. Tbh I like it until now. It's a good way to engage with my friends now that I only see them a few times a month. The friends I have on BeReal are generally respecting the rule that you either post at the moment BeReal asks you to or at the nearest moment where it's okay to so. I won't post at work, at the toilet, or in the shower or something. But I will do so after those moments of I'm doing something mundane like washing the dishes or cycling home. You'll generally just get a sense of what your friends' life's like like normally, as well as the fun things they do like traveling or visiting some event.
Not at the toilet???
Bro, do you even social media?
Totally kidding, but I hate having to use that slash ess.
