How to Delete a BeReal from Your Memories

When you capture a BeReal post, the system automatically saves it to a private gallery called Memories, exclusively accessible to you. If you decide to delete your public BeReal post, it will also remove the image from Memories. 

However, it’s important to note that deleting a photo from Memories won’t affect the visibility of the original BeReal post. So, even if you remove it from Memories, the post will still be publicly visible to your friends. With that understanding, let’s begin with the steps.

Note: For demonstration purposes, we are going with an Android device. You can follow the same steps on iPhone too. 

Step 1: Launch BeReal and tap on your profile icon in the top right corner.

Step 2: In the profile screen, you will see the Your Memories section below your account name. Tap on ‘View all my Memories.’

You will see a calendar view of the photos you have posted on BeReal. 

Step 3: Give a gentle tap to any date you wish to remove from Memories. From the post, tap the three-dot icon in the top right corner.

Step 4: Select ‘Delete from Memories’ from the drop-down menu. In the ‘Are you sure you want to delete this BeReal?’ pop-up, choose Delete.

Note: You can download the image before deleting it from the Memories section. 

There you have it. You have deleted your BeReal memory without deleting the BeReal post. However, if you cannot delete your BeReal post, continue reading to know how to rectify it.

Why Is Delete My BeReal Not Available

If the ‘Delete My BeReal’ button is not available in the BeReal app, there could be a few reasons for this. Here are some possible explanations:

1. The BeReal app may have a time limit for deleting your BeReals. If you have exceeded this time limit, the option to delete your BeReal may no longer be available.
2. If the BeReal you want to delete has been shared with you by another user, you may not have permission to delete it. Only the original creator of the BeReal has the authority to remove it.
3. It’s also possible that there is a technical glitch or bug in the app preventing you from accessing the delete feature. In such cases, you can close and reopen the app or update to the latest version to see if the issue resolves.

If you cannot find the ‘Delete My BeReal’ option or if it’s unavailable for you, it’s recommended that you contact the BeReal support team to resolve the issue. If you have any queries we missed addressing, move on to the section below.
