To get started with poking someone on Facebook, you’ll want to ensure that you’re using the Facebook app. Here’s how you can do it in just a few steps.
First, open your Facebook app on your mobile device. Log into your account if you haven’t done so already. Once you are on your home screen, go to the search bar at the top of the screen. Type the name of the person you wish to poke. As you type, suggestions will appear. Click on the correct profile to go to their page.
When you are on their profile, look for the three dots icon (⋯) on the right side under their profile picture. Tap on it, and you will see several options in a dropdown menu.
In this menu, locate the “Poke” option and tap on it. Once you tap that, a message will confirm that you have poked them! They will receive a notification, which can initiate a friendly interaction. Remember, the poke feature is lighthearted and can sometimes catch people off guard, so use it wisely!
It’s always great to reconnect and spread some joy on social media. So, don’t hesitate to poke a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while. Just remember that with every poke comes the potential for a fun conversation or a new memory shared!
