• Clearing a group chat: You have the option to clear the chat history, removing all previous messages. However, please note that this action will only clear the chat for you, not for other members.
• Sending real emojis: In addition to text messaging, BeReal allows you to send real emojis within the group chat, adding a touch of fun and creativity.
• Sharing Beryls: Beryls are essentially images or visual messages designed for BeReal. You can share Beryls specifically with your group chat, ensuring they won't be posted on any other BeReal feed.
• Managing members: As an admin, you have the authority to block or remove individuals from the group, if necessary.
