According to Europa Press, the uniqueness of this new function is that participants will be able to ask for specific things, such as what they are eating, where they are now, etc. Also, as in BeReal, users will have a limited time to share the photo in the group.
However, users will only be able to see each other’s photos when they have shared their own. For now, there is no clear date for the arrival of this update to everyone.
