The Facebook “Poke” feature allows users to send a virtual nudge to another user. While intended as a simple interaction, some individuals may prefer to avoid receiving these notifications. Disabling pokes, or managing their visibility, can contribute to a more streamlined and personalized user experience on the platform.
Managing unwanted interactions offers several advantages. It helps maintain focus by minimizing interruptions, allowing individuals to engage with content and connections on their own terms. Historically, the Poke feature’s popularity has fluctuated, and control over its use ensures the platform adapts to evolving user preferences for communication.
