Does BeReal Notify Screenshots?
Yes! BeReal does notify screenshots to the users!
However, the process is not as same as Snapchat. The fact is, unlike Snapchat, BeReal does not send a push notification to the user. Hence, you should not expect to receive a notification from BeReal every time someone takes a screenshot of your post.
On the contrary, BeReal does keep a record of how many times people are taking screenshots of your posts and the record of their identity, just like other social media platforms do for counting likes and shares. So, if sometimes people are complaining about BeReal not showing screenshot, maybe they are under the false impression of receiving a push notification that BeReal will never send!
