- Facebook’s “poke” feature, largely unchanged since 2004, is making a comeback, with a 13x increase in use.
- Poking sends a notification to a friend, with no other message or information included.
- The feature is only available for Facebook friends and cannot be used on other Meta-owned services.
- Facebook announced that more than 50% of pokes come from 18-29-year-olds.
- To poke someone, visit the pokes page and select “poke” next to a friend’s name.
- To prevent being poked, users can block the person who is poking them.
