Whether you have concerns about BeReal’s privacy policy, or just aren’t using the app anymore, it’s easy to delete your BeReal account directly from your Android device. Following these steps will permanently delete your account after a 15-day waiting period:
Open the BeReal app and tap Profile in the bottom right.
Tap the three-dot menu to open Settings, and then tap Other > Delete account.
You have the option to provide a reason for deleting your account. Provide one if you want, then tap Yes, I’m sure.
Before deleting your BeReal account, be sure to save any Memories you want to keep, as deleting your BeReal will permanently erase all your data after 15 days. If you change your mind, logging back into your account within 15 days of deletion will reactivate it.
Unlike Facebook, which gives you the option to download all your Facebook data, BeReal doesn’t let you download all your Memories at once. However, you can download individual ones, by following these steps:
Tap the Profile icon and select View all my Memories under Your Memories.
Find the Memory you want to download and tap the three-dot menu.
Tap the download icon to save the Memory to your pictures.
Here’s how to delete your BeReal account on an iPhone or iPad in a few simple steps:
Open the BeReal app and tap the profile icon in the top-right corner.
Tap the three dots to open the menu and select Other.
Tap Delete Account, provide a reason if you wish, then tap Yes, I’m sure.
As on any other platform, if you log in within 15 days of deleting your account, your BeReal will be reactivated. After 15 days, you’ll lose all your data and Memories, so be sure to download any Memories you want to preserve.
Deleting your BeReal account is usually straightforward, but a few issues can complicate the process, such as an outdated app version or network problems. Here are some reasons you might not be able to delete your BeReal account:
Outdated app: If your BeReal app is outdated, you may experience bugs when trying to delete your account. Update the app or reinstall it to ensure you're using the latest version.
Network issues: If you have a weak or no internet connection, you may encounter issues deleting your BeReal account. Check your connection and try again.
Server issues: You may not be able to delete your account if BeReal’s servers are down or experiencing issues. If that’s the case, try again later.
If you’re still struggling to delete your BeReal account, head to BeReal’s Help Center for troubleshooting.
When you delete your BeReal account, all your data — including friends, BeReals, and Memories — will be permanently erased and removed from the internet after 15 days. If you change your mind, logging in within that window will restore your profile. Otherwise, you’ll need to start from scratch if you create a new account.
Deleting a social media account can seem like a scary step, but limiting the time you spend online can reduce your exposure to cyberbullying, cyberstalking, phishing, and sneaky social engineering schemes. Ready for a total social media purge? Delete your Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and X while you’re at it.
Or, if you’re simply concerned about how much you’re sharing online, adjust your privacy settings on Facebook or Instagram for more control over who sees your posts.
Unlike Facebook or Instagram, BeReal doesn’t offer an account deactivation option — only permanent deletion. A potential workaround is deleting your account and reinstating it within the 15-day grace period by logging back in. But if you just need a break from BeReal, you’re better off simply deleting the app from your phone instead. This gives you the option to reinstall it and pick up where you left off with your account at any time.
Deleting your BeReal account is one way to reduce your digital footprint and preserve your privacy, but for ironclad online privacy get Avast Secureline VPN. Try it for free today to mask your IP address, encrypt your internet connection, and keep your online activity more private.
