What is Poke Feature on Facebook?

The Poke feature on Facebook is an engaging way to interact with your friends. Like a friendly tap on the shoulder, a poke is a virtual gesture that lets you get someone’s attention or simply say hello. However, the Poke feature’s popularity has faded, but it remains a fun way to initiate contact, start a conversation, or rekindle a connection. Poking someone sends them a notification and, in turn, encourages them to respond – either with a poke of their own or a message.
