Instagram Testing Copycat Version of BeReal photo app
Instagram is testing a new feature that copies the photo-sharing app BeReal, which continues to hold on to the number one spot in the U.S. on Apple’s App Store charts this week. Instagram is now running internal tests of a feature called Candid Challenges that will randomly prompt users.
The currently unreleased feature was spotted by Alessandro Paluzzi, a developer known for reverse engineering apps and finding early versions of upcoming updates. According to Paluzzi, Instagram users participating in Candid Challenges will receive a notification at a different time each day to snap a photo of their surroundings. Upon getting the prompt, the Instagram camera will also open with both front and rear-facing shooters, and give users a two-minute window to take a photo, just like on BeReal.
