Before You Begin
Before beginning the transfer process, make sure you have the following:
- Both your old and new phone numbers (including country codes)
- Your BeReal username
- Your date of birth
This information is required for BeReal to verify your identity and successfully transfer your account.
Contact BeReal Support

Create A New Account
If you need immediate access before hearing back from BeReal support, you can create a new account with your new phone number. Just keep in mind that you can only have one BeReal account per phone number.
