Change Summary
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.
