The slightly different social media app BeReal is getting a new feature that allows users to include what music they may be listening to on Spotify when they post their update.
The feature is currently being rolled out on Android and iOS in Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, and the US. However, the feature is expected to reach more markets soon.
Here’s how to add Spotify to BeReal:
1. Connect your Spotify and BeReal accounts. There are two ways to do this. Eligible users—or even soon-to-be users—can do this by tapping on the music icon that’s shown before posting their BeReal. Otherwise, within the BeReal app, navigate to “Settings,” then “Music,” and follow the prompts to connect to Spotify.
2. Once you’ve connected your accounts, we’ll automatically pull in the song or podcast you’re listening to on Spotify at the time you capture a BeReal. You’ll see the cover art of the audio you’re listening to at the bottom of your camera lens.
3. Check out what other friends are listening to on your BeReal feed! You’ll also be able to listen to a preview of what they’ve shared.
For those who don’t know, BeReal is an app where users receive a notification once a day to take a photo with both the front and rear cameras on their phone at the same time to capture the moment “in an authentic way”. Instead of curated content like on, for example, Instagram.
