Now that you know that screenshots on BeReal are discoverable and visible to the creator of a BeReal post, you might be wondering how to take screenshots of someone’s posts without alerting them. Luckily, there are a few solutions that can help you out in such a situation.

While BeReal can detect when you take screenshots of someone’s post on the app, it can’t tell if or when a screen recorder is enabled on your phone. You can use the native screen recorder on your iPhone or Android device to record your screen and then browse through someone’s recent posts.

You can use your phone's screen recording feature by following the instructions below:

Swipe down twice on your Home screen to access Quick Settings and tap the Screen Recording tile on the screen.
