To poke someone on Facebook in 2025, follow these steps:
- Open the Facebook app or website.
- Use the search bar at the top and type "poke" or "pokes". This will bring up the Pokes page where you can see who has poked you and a list of your friends you can poke
- On the Pokes page, find the friend you want to poke. Next to their name, there will be a "Poke" button or icon.
- Tap or click the "Poke" button to send a poke. The person will receive a notification that you poked them
- If someone pokes you, you can poke them back from the same page.
This feature is a playful way to get someone's attention or say hello without sending a message. It is accessible via search since Facebook does not prominently display it in menus anymore
. If you want to avoid being poked by someone, you can block that person on Facebook
. In summary, the key is to search for "poke" on Facebook, access the Pokes page, and then poke your friends from there. This works similarly on both the Facebook app and website
