I tried BeReal, the ‘authentic Instagram’ app – would it show the real me?
我试著了真实世界版Instagram应用领域BeReal，它会表明真实世界的我吗?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there is a new app to know about. BeReal, touted as the anti-Instagram, is currently the No 1 free app on the App Store in the US. It promises, slightly unnervingly, a new and unique way to discover who your friends really are in their daily life.
尽管很对不起说你这种三个坏最新消息，但那时再次出现了三个捷伊应用领域程序。堪称反instagram的BeReal现阶段是英国应用领域零售店名列第三的完全免费应用领域。它允诺，以一类捷伊、独有的形式来辨认出你的好友在现实生活中究竟是怎样的，这有点儿令人困惑。

It works by sending an amber-alert-style push notification to all its users at once – one that includes two panic-inducing yellow warning sign emojis and a message that it is time to BeReal. Upon receiving this missive, everyone uploads a photo of what they are doing at that exact moment in time, regardless of whether they happen to be dancing in a club with their friends or sitting alone on their sofa and staring at the wall.
它的组织工作基本原理是纸制向大部份使用者推送三个深棕色预警式的推送通告，当中主要包括三个引起忧虑的红色警示象征眼神，和两条是这时候展现出真实世界的她们了的最新消息。接到这条最新消息后，每一人单厢上载两张她们彼时已经开始做的事的相片，无论她们是叙伊佩县俱乐部队里和好友唱歌，却是独自一人趴在椅子上盯着墙看。

It also takes a simultaneous snapshot from both your front and back-facing cameras, which explains why this app is mostly being used by teenagers and not those of us who have matured into multiple chins. Crucially, you can’t see anyone else’s BeReal until you have posted your own.

The app has grown faster than its French founders, Alexis Barreyat – who previously worked at GoPro - and Kévin Perreau anticipated when they created it in 2020, with many users complaining that the single photo permitted each day is taking for ever to upload.
这款应用领域的发展速度超过了，其法国创始人亚历克西斯·巴雷亚特(Alexis Barreyat)和凯文·佩罗（Kévin Perreau）在2020年创建这款应用领域时的预期。许多使用者抱怨这款软件说，每天只允许上载一次相片，并且上载速度很慢。巴雷亚特此前曾在运动相机GoPro组织工作。

After setting up my profile on the app, I am shown possible friends of mine who are already there, being more real than me. They include two friends from university who don’t use Instagram, a cool girl whose couch I stayed on in New York in 2014, the cool girl who’s couch I’m currently staying on in Los Angeles, my editor, and a boy with whom I had a disastrous romantic affair in Denmark many years ago. I add them all, bar the obvious exception. The app also lets you see strangers’ posts in the Discovery tab, and most users appear to be teenagers.
在这款应用领域程序上设置了我的个人资料后，我就可以看到可能认识的好友推荐，她们已经在使用这个软件了，她们比我更真实世界。我可能认识的好友推荐中主要包括三个不使用Instagram的大学好友，三个很酷的女孩，我2014年在纽约时就睡在她家的椅子上，还有另三个很酷的女孩，我那时在洛杉矶睡在她家的椅子上，还有我的编辑，加上三个多年前跟我在丹麦有过一段极其失败恋情的男孩。很明显除了这个前男友，我把其他这些人都加了好友。该应用领域程序还可以让你在辨认出标签中看到陌生人的帖子，而且大多数使用者似乎都是青少年。

BeReal’s key ethos is authenticity. Its lack of filters and sense of urgency are designed to eliminate any notions of curation or artifice, words that have seemingly become tarnished by Instagram and its glossy influencers. You can’t even see what the front camera is capturing to help you at least pick a flattering angle.
BeReal的核心理念是真实世界。它不带滤镜，并且带有紧迫感，旨在消除任何策划的或技巧的概念，这些词似乎已经被Instagram和其网络平台上光鲜亮丽的网红们玷污了。使用BeReal时，你甚至无法看到前置摄像头在捕捉什么画面，你连帮她们选择三个好看的角度都不能。

My first BeReal was a slightly meta snap of me watching the TV, reflected in the mirror. My friend Tom, who is in Turin doing a doctorate, posted a photo of himself and his partner preparing asparagus for dinner. My editor posted a photo of a fish in a tank, and his best impersonation of said fish. Having reached the end of my feed’’ with these three posts, I clicked back to the discovery tab – which is a slew of strangers in mundanity: someone cooking ramen; someone sitting at a train station in London; a blonde woman on a sofa in Illinois watching baseball and drinking wine with a pile of just-wrapped presents on the floor; a young man in Brazil stuck in traffic; five teenage girls hanging out in a green stairwell; a lot of kids doing homework in their bedrooms. It succeeds at its goal of being drab, but why would anyone want an app to un–inspire them?
我的第两张BeReal相片是两张我映照在镜子里的已经开始看电视的相片。我的好友汤姆在意大利都灵攻读博士学位，他上载了两张她们和伴侣为晚餐准备芦笋的相片。我的编辑发了两张鱼缸里两条鱼的相片，还有他对这条鱼的最佳模仿相片。这三条动态已经让我读完了大部份推送内容，我点击了辨认出标签，里面有一大堆陌生人的现实生活动态：有在煮拉面的；有趴在伦敦火车站的；还有三个在伊利诺斯州趴在椅子上看棒球的金发女郎，喝着葡萄酒，地板上放着一堆刚包装好的礼物；巴西三个被堵在路上的年轻人；在绿色楼梯间闲逛的五个十几岁的女孩；在卧室里做作业的一群孩子。它成功实现了乏味这个目标，但为什么有人会希望一款应用领域让她们失去灵感呢?

Annoyingly, for the week-long duration of this experiment, my BeReal notification went off at some time between 4am and 7am. The app moaned that I was posting late although it still allowed me to post, somewhat defeating BeReal’s stated purpose. One time I offered it a photo of my morning coffee but pointed the front camera towards to the ceiling fan, because I did not want to post a picture of myself from below the chin first thing in the morning. The app patronizingly told me your friends prefer it when they can see your face!, which I would have to disagree with.
令人恼火的是，在为期一周的实验中，我的BeReal都是在凌晨4点到7点之间的某个时间给我发通告。这款应用领域抱怨我发帖晚了，但它仍然允许我发，这在一定程度上违背了BeReal的初衷。有一次，我（用后置摄像头）排了两张早上喝咖啡的相片，但却把前置摄像头对准了吊扇，因为我不想早上第三件事就是对着她们的下巴拍张相片然后发上去。这款应用领域以屈尊俯就的姿态说我:你的好友更喜欢看到你的脸!，我不同意这种说法。

Personally, I didn’t feel these prosaic images represented my daily life at all. In my mind, my life is all palm trees silhouetted against beautiful sunsets and hummingbirds drinking from blossoms and the feeling of the sun on my skin – which are the things I post on Instagram. Life can be both authentic and beautiful at the same time, and pretending that real life is always ugly and trivial seems like a miserablist’s way to understand the world. My Instagram output may be curated rather than created under hostage-like circumstances, but ultimately it feels more authentic to me than a photo of my forehead and a half-eaten salad.
