A Bangladeshi social network, built here for the way we connect
Be Social is Bangladeshi social media in the plainest sense: a social network made in Bangladesh, for people who live here and for Bangladeshis everywhere. You can post, chat, call, watch, listen, sell and look for work in one app, in Bangla or English, on a phone or a computer.
What makes a social network Bangladeshi?
A lot of small things, added up. You sign up with a Bangladeshi phone number and an SMS code, or with an email address if you prefer. Prices in the marketplace are in taka. The post box helps you type Bangla even on an English keyboard. And next to Like and Love there is a reaction that only makes sense here: Shabaash (শাবাশ), for the moments that deserve a proper Bangla cheer.
Be Social is made in Bangladesh and shaped around everyday life here: mobile data that is not always fast, phones that are not always new, and conversations that switch between Bangla and English mid-sentence. Be Social is independent and is not affiliated with any other social network or app company.
A Bangla social network that also speaks English
The whole app works in Bangla and in English, and you can switch any time. Menus and buttons change with it, so a grandmother who reads only Bangla and a grandson who prefers English can use the same app comfortably.
Typing Bangla is easier too. Write "ami" in the post box and Be Social suggests আমি. You do not need a separate keyboard app to write a quick status in your own language.
Everything in one place
Most of us juggle several apps a day. Be Social brings friends, chat, video, music and selling into a single account.
- News feed: posts from friends, Pages you follow, and public posts picked for you.
- Messenger: one-to-one and group chats, voice messages, and free one-to-one voice and video calls.
- Video and Live: video posts, live streams with replays, and a built-in video editor.
- Clips & Shorts: short vertical videos for quick moments.
- Be Social Music: songs, albums, artists and your own playlists.
- Pages: for shops, brands, artists, organisations and communities.
- Haat-Bazaar: buy and sell near you, with prices in taka.
- Jobs, Events & Mela, and Groups: find work, find things to do, find your people.
Built for the phones and connections we actually have
Be Social is designed to run on low-cost phones and slow connections. A data saver helps when your internet pack is running low, and you can let video quality adjust automatically or fix it at a level you choose. Light and dark mode are both there, for the bus at noon and the bed at midnight.
No Android phone? besocial.bd works in any browser, on a phone or a computer, including an iPhone.
Who a deshi social app is for
A college student in Chattogram sharing photos from a study tour. A tailor in Mirpur posting new designs on a Page and answering questions in chat. A family in Sylhet staying close to a son working in Dubai through free video calls. A village cooperative creating an event so the whole union knows the date of the Mela.
Be Social is for adults, 18 and over, at home or abroad, who sign up with a Bangladeshi phone number or an email address.
Your privacy, set the way you want
Every post has its own audience: Public, Followers, Friends or Only me. You can lock your profile so people who are not your friends cannot save your photos, choose who can message you, and add hidden words you do not want to see.
For your account there is two-factor authentication with an authenticator app, an alert when someone signs in from a new device, and a list of everywhere you are logged in. You can download your data, or deactivate or delete your account.
