Spotify995 ArchivesBeReal are joining forces for the ultimate Gen Z overshare.

Starting this week, BeReal users can include what they are listening to on Spotify alongside their dual camera selfie. This is one of the first major updates since the BeReal's launch in 2020, and the move reads as an attempt by BeReal to remain relevant after the app's daily users dropped from 20 million in October 2022 to 10.4 million in February 2023.

The update will likely appeal to BeReal's Gen Z user base who have been surfacing "BeReal for music" apps on TikTok like bopdrop, Kiwi, and Airbuds since late 2022. Between the hullabaloo surrounding Spotify Wrapped and cyclical, shareable methods of analyzing your Spotify data, one thing is clear people loveto spotlight their music taste.
