BeReal revised its Terms of Service on July 3, 2026, with the update dated June 30, 2026. The changes are largely editorial and stylistic: mission statement clarifications (replacing 'Your friends for real' with a more detailed description of services and technologies), terminology adjustments (referring to 'true life' rather than 'real life' in one instance), and wording refinements throughout ('Community Standards' was relabeled to 'Rules'). The document structure, capitalization conventions, and phrasing were also standardized. These revisions do not establish new user obligations, restrictions, or rights.

What this means for you

The updated Terms of Service contain primarily editorial and stylistic revisions rather than material changes to platform policies or user rights. The mission statement has been refined to emphasize creation of 'services and technologies' that allow users to 'live your true life and share that reality with your real friends.' Terminology conventions have been standardized throughout (for example, 'Community Standards' is now referred to as 'Rules'). These revisions clarify the document's language and formatting but do not alter the substantive rights, obligations, or restrictions users operate under on the platform.

Key Clauses Affected

mission statement

Refined to emphasize creation of services and technologies enabling users to share reality with real friends rather than the abbreviated 'Your friends for real' statement.

terminology conventions

Standardized capitalization and phrasing throughout (e.g., 'Community Standards' renamed to 'Rules', 'User Agreement' revised to 'user agreement').
