it is called "be real. and it is trying to redefine what makes an app popular. nbc news arng joe fryer here with more. >> with "be real" you take picture but you can't use filters or photo shop. you can't plan out an elaborate shoot with a beautiful backdrop. you can't post a pick that is already in your phone. the goal to show your authentic self at any given moment to the meticulously edited versions we often post on social media. begs the question, how exactly do you do that here the "be real" deal. once a day users get a note note notification that says time to be real. that moment you have two minutes to snap a pic. your phone's front camera captures what you are doing, what's in front of you no matter how mundane and the rear facing camera catches you, a selfie two images, no filters promptly posted for your friends to see
