BeReal “Welcome back Bonus” - what is it?

Have you ever stopped using a social media platform only to come back later and find out that they have a special surprise waiting for you? That's exactly what happened to me when I recently opened the BeReal app after not using it for a while. The moment I logged in, a message popped up on my screen that said, "Welcome back bonus."

Curiosity piqued, I clicked on the message to see what this bonus entailed. To my delight, the BeReal app was offering me a chance to earn some extra rewards. All I had to do was post two more images on BeReal that day. It was as simple as that!

The concept behind this "Welcome back bonus" is clear. BeReal wants to reward users who haven't been active on the platform for a while, encouraging them to start using it again. By offering bonuses like this, BeReal hopes to reignite users' interest and engagement with the app.

Upon closer inspection, I noticed another interesting feature that accompanied this welcome back bonus. It was a new setting called "my friends plus their friends." This setting gives you the option to choose who can see the content you share on BeReal. You can either limit it to just your friends or expand it to include friends of your friends as well. This setting provides more flexibility in terms of privacy and audience.

To claim the welcome back bonus, all I had to do was tap on the designated button, and I was able to post two more images on BeReal. Usually, access to this feature requires you to post within a specific time frame, but with the welcome back bonus, the limitation was lifted. It was a nice gesture from BeReal to allow me to utilize this feature without any restrictions.

In conclusion, the BeReal app's "Welcome back bonus" is a thoughtful way to welcome users back to the platform. By offering incentives to those who haven't actively used the app in a while, BeReal encourages users to engage with the platform again. The additional feature of choosing the visibility of your posts adds an extra layer of control and customization. Whether you're a long-time BeReal user or have been away for a while, this welcome back bonus is a pleasant surprise that adds value to your experience on the app.
