You can delete a BeReal post through the post’s three-dot menu on iPhone and Android.
BeReal intentionally doesn’t make it easy to delete posts due to the app’s theme of keeping posts authentic.
You’ll have to complete a survey and can’t delete more than one per day.
BeReal is a relatively new social media app that’s all about being honest and real, living in — and sharing — random moments from your life. That’s why there are no filters and no elaborate multi-photo stories.
Even so, you might post a snapshot that you wish you could take back afterward. The delete option is not easy to find, but it can be done. Here’s how to do that for both iPhone and Android.
How to delete a BeReal post on iPhone
1. In the BeReal app, find the post you want to delete and tap the three dots to the right of your location.
2. In the pop-up window that shows your location and comments, tap Options.
3. Tap Delete my BeReal.
4. Complete the short survey about why you want to delete the post, and then tap Yes, I’m sure.
Tap the three-dot menu to the right of the time, then tap Options to see the Delete command.

Quick tip: On both iPhone and Android, you can only delete a maximum of one BeReal post per day.
How to delete a BeReal from your Memories
After you capture a BeReal post, it’s saved to a private gallery only you can see called Memories. Deleting your public BeReal post also deletes the image from Memories, though the opposite is not true — you can delete a photo from Memories, but the original BeReal post remains publicly visible to your friends. Here is how to delete your photo from Memories:
1. Tap the account icon at the top right.
2. In the calendar view, tap the image you want to delete.
3. Tap the three-dot menu at the top right and then choose Delete from Memories.
In BeReal, Memories are a private record of your posted images.
