Before we had dating apps like Tinder or OkCupid, Facebook\u2019s \u201cpoke\u201d function let users get the attention of others in its own unique way. For many, poking someone on Facebook was considered a form of harmless flirtation, and an expression of interest, similar to swiping right on Tinder\u2014the person you\u2019ve poked will know you\u2019re interested in some way, but nothing beyond that.

As Facebook grew, the poking function became more bothersome than useful, until the Facebook \u201cpoke\u201d reached an almost ironic, cutesy stage, where people would \u201cpoke\u201d each other for the sake of being funny. While we don\u2019t know what sort of social status poking someone holds these days, we can<\/em> tell you that the poking function has been relegated to the world of Facebook apps, which many people rarely check.<\/p>\n

Two Ways to Check Your Pokes<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to check your Facebook pokes, the first option is to open the Facebook app, and go all the way to the bottom of the screen, where you can click the \u201cMore\u201d button. Then, go to the \u201cApps\u201d button, and click again. Unless Pokes is one of your more frequently used apps, this is where it will appear. If you tend to use the app frequently, it may appear on the list of options when you initially click \u201cMore,\u201d maybe even showing up next to one of Facebook\u2019s more favored apps right now, \u201cOn This Day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once found, click the Pokes app, and there you are\u2014you\u2019ll be able to see who has poked you recently, whom you\u2019ve poked, and Facebook\u2019s suggestions for who you should poke! For example, if you look at a friend\u2019s page often, the Poke app will probably suggest you give this person a quick \u201cpoke.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second way to check your pokes is to simply go to the search bar at the top of the Facebook Mobile app, and type in \u201cPokes.\u201d This should take you to the app itself, which will offer you the same options as the method described above.<\/p>\n
