[Up: Waiting List] BeReal Recap 2022 not working or loading for some, here's a potential workaround

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on December 16, 2022) follows:

BeReal is undoubtedly one of the most popular social media platforms in recent times. It asks users to post unfiltered photos of themselves once a day.

By removing overly edited photographs and requesting users to show their natural appearance in the moment, the app pushes them to be more genuine.

Recently, the platform got its own version of Spotify Wrapped called BeReal Recap 2022.

BeReal Recap 2022 not working

However, a number of BeReal users (1,2,3,4,5,6) have taken to social media platforms to report an issue where Recap 2022 is not working or loading for them.

Hi! Title. My 2022 Recap has just the first bereal of 2022, then it’s all black. the video doesn’t even start i guess. is there a way to fix this?

According to reports, the app gets stuck on the loading screen and won’t play or preview the Recap for some users.

Do note that this is not the first time that the app is exhibiting such issues. For instance, we previously highlighted how BeReal ‘Memories’ was not loading for some. It has also failed to load images in the past for a section of users.

And now, its inability to show users the highlight of their year is turning out to be quite a disappointment for them.

Potential workaround

Fortunately, we have come across a workaround that can help fix the issue where BeReal isn’t loading Recap 2022. It involves reinstalling the app.

Unfortunately, the team hasn’t commented on the issue yet. So affected users can try the workaround mentioned above for the time being.

We’ll keep tabs on the latest developments and update this story as and when something noteworthy comes up.

11:30 am (IST): It seems that BeReal is placing several users (1,2,3,4,5) on a Waiting List in order for them to see their Recap 2022.
