Hello, visitor!

Article about find my friend with gps:
It took a few weeks before Elise, 21, discovered she could look at her metadata by tapping on the three dots on her BeReal posts (a UX designer’s oversight?). She could then see how many retakes were taken, how many comments and reaction photos she got, and the precise geolocation where the photo was snapped. Once you know all this information is there, it’s fairly easy to deactivate the map.

Elise hasn’t bothered. The truth is, she said she has nothing to hide. Since the advent of geolocation-sharing tools like Snap Map and Find My Friends in the 2010s, ambiently “tracking” the location of friends and family is so normalized within certain social circles that some people report never not knowing where their contacts are. Daniel, 26, thinks of Find My Friends as a “quality of life improvement” — and has successfully converted even his most resistant friends into users. “If I met you at a party, I would be so fine giving you my location. I see it as a badge of pride that I have nothing to hide,” he said. “I wish I had the location of every single person I’ve ever met.” His boomer-generation parents, however, “scream at him” whenever he mentions it, so horrified by his disregard for the hallowed concept of privacy. Destini, 29, is always checking where her best friend is “not in a creepy way but as a courtesy.” If she’s at work, Destini won’t bother her with trivial texts. Ben, 30, turns his location-sharing on and off frequently. “I should be allowed to drop in and out of it, and my friends respect that. They can joke about where I am when I go dark,” he said. The compromise is that he has to intentionally “stop sharing.” Categorizing a hangout as clandestine is one more form of preconceived socializing. “These apps, but BeReal in particular, have a forced participation aspect,” said Andrew Selepak, PhD, a mass communications professor at the University of Florida. “It is no longer the format of ‘I’m selectively sharing what I want to,’ but sharing whatever possible.” BeReal instituted itself as yet another platform necessary for having a social life. Designed as an “authentic,” filterless alternative to the shopping-mall catwalk of Instagram, the two-year-old French app feels closer to early ’grams of morning coffee, Mayfair filter on. Though there is a distinct difference between now and 2011. BeReal capitalizes on the knowledge that we’re on our phones all the time, and the proof is that a daily push notification with two minutes to photograph yourself and your immediate surroundings works — so well that excessive glitches don’t deter. In July, BeReal spent three days as the App Store’s No. 1 free app and is at 20 million downloads by conservative estimates.
