What is a “Poke” in Facebook?
If you’ve ever wondered what is a “Poke” on Facebook, this article will explain the process to you. Pokes are not the same as a message or a photo. Rather, they are a way to catch someone’s attention on Facebook. You shouldn’t use a poke to flirt or send a photo if you are not ready to get intimate. If you think you want to poke someone, you should wait until you’re ready.
It’s a way to get someone’s attention on Facebook

Here are some of the most common ways to mention someone on Facebook.
It’s not flirting
A Facebook “poke” is an instant way to flirt or say “hi” to a user. It’s similar to the swipe right on Tinder, but instead of seeking a response, the user simply pokes the other person’s profile.

You might have seen the icon on someone’s timeline when you’ve liked them and decided to send them a message. However, if you’re not flirting, you can always choose to “poke” them back. This method is more subtle, so make sure you choose the right recipient. In some cases, it may even be a way to reconnect with an old friend who’s moved on.
It’s not a message
If you have a recent conversation with a friend and it says “It’s not a message on Facebook”, you may want to find out what caused the unread status. Facebook’s new privacy rules in Europe mean that you can’t send messages with attachments. Instead, you must include an external link in your message. To see also : How to Change Email in Facebook.

It’s not a photo
If you’ve uploaded a photo and it’s not showing up in your Facebook profile, you may have encountered the problem called picture blackout. Facebook’s redesign in mid-2014 changed the way photos and videos are displayed on the platform. Previously, pictures and videos could fill both columns, but now they only fill one column. In addition, Facebook no longer accepts images larger than 15MB. You may want to check with the owner of the photo to ensure their permission first.
It’s not a text message
When you get a confirmation code text from Facebook, it’s probably spam. This is a scam, so beware. You can easily disable these texts by visiting Facebook’s help centre. You can also choose to remove the phone number from your account. First, you need to log in with your Facebook account and the one that is associated with the phone number you’re trying to remove. Then, follow the links in the Help Centre to disable SMS notifications for Facebook.
