So users receive an alert to take a photo at a certain time in the day. You get 20 minutes to send yours. However, instead of posting an impromptu selfie looking natural, BeFake allows you to edit images so they look unrealistic. Take a snap and the AI will transform your photo. "BeFake lets users present the reality they feel best reflects them, and enables high quality social media participation in a low pressure, user-friendly way accessible to a wide and diverse audience," the app says. How does BeFake AI work? You receive a notification at a certain time each day to send a photo of yourself. You need notifications on to know when the free posting window is each day. When you take the photo, it'll be a large selfie image with a smaller window showing where you are. There are three buttons to choose from. BeFake Me, which will randomly select an AI style for you. Pick Prompt from Gallery, where you can choose a style for yourself. Or Let Me Create, allowing you to describe how you'd like your photo to appear. Finally, add a caption, decide whether you want to show the location and make your post public or private.
