BeReal is getting a lot of fans among people looking for a slightly different take on social media photo sharing. Unlike Instagram, which encourages rehearsed, highly polished photos, BeReal asks users to post in-the-moment snapshots.
If the BeReal app isn’t working the way you expect, though, the app might have cached some corrupted data. The good news is that it only takes a few moments to clear the cache, which often fixes BeReal and gets you back up and running. Here is how to clear the BeReal cache on both iPhone and Android.
How to clear the BeReal cache on Android
Android makes it easy to clear the cache for any app which is misbehaving with just a few taps. The exact steps might vary slightly depending on which version of Android and what brand handset you have, but this general process should work with most devices:
1. Start the Settings app and tap Apps.
2. Tap All apps to see a complete list of apps installed on your phone.
3. Find BeReal in the list and tap it.
4. Tap Storage & cache.
You’ll find the Storage & cache options on the App info page in Settings.

You can now try starting the BeReal app to see if this resolved your problem.
How to clear the BeReal cache on iPhone
You can also clear the cache on your iPhone, but unfortunately, iOS doesn’t have a one-tap way to clear the cache in the same way that Android does. In fact, the only way to clear the cache is to uninstall and reinstall the BeReal app. This is very straightforward to do – just delete the BeReal app and then reinstall it from the App Store. You will need to log into your BeReal account again after reinstalling the app.
