How to access your BeReal recap video

BEREAL has followed the likes of Snapchat and Spotify in giving users a picture-based highlight reel of their year, documented via the app.

The app, which promises users a more realistic glimpse into their friend’s lives, introduced the Recap feature for both Android and iPhone users just last year.

It was a big hit.

Where can I find the BeReal recap?

To find your BeReal Recap, simply open the app and tap your profile picture in the top-right hand corner.

Next, tap View all my Memories.

Then scroll to the bottom of the Memories page and tap the icon that looks like a computer monitor with sparkles on it.

It will then give you an option to Generate my 2023 video recap – so long as it’s nearing the end of the year.

When the video is ready, BeReal needs time to get everything set for viewing.

This means that, after clicking Generate, you’ll join a waiting list before you can see your video – which can take a while.

If you’re checking to see the Recap option today – you will be disappointed, as BeReal wants you to collect more memories first.

Why can’t I see my BeReal recap?

Just like with other platforms, BeReal’s Recap is only available at the end of the year.

You won’t be able to see the option to create a Recap until the year’s end.

But should we fast forward to December 2023 and your BeReal Recap still isn’t working – try closing and reopening the app and make sure you have a good internet connection.

If that hasn’t worked, check you have the latest version of the app.

If neither of those work, then delete the app and reinstall it.

Make sure that you log back in and give the app time to generate your Recap.

As a side note, users should consider this before watching their Recap: Each Recap video consists of every BeReal photo you’ve taken that year flashing by very quickly.

If you have any medical issues related to flashing lights or contrasting light and dark patterns, such as photosensitive epilepsy, be careful when watching.
