If you hear the familiar ping of the BeReal app beckoning you to take a photo while sitting at your desk at work, you might want to think twice before snapping a shot, experts are warning workers.

BeReal, a candid-camera social media app with millions of downloads, urges its users to defy filters and over-curating their lives by posting a single picture at a random time each day, which is shared with family and friends. The user only has two minutes from when they receive their daily notification to take a picture.
