"The Resurgence of Facebook Poking: Gen Z's Latest Obsession in 2024"

Poking, a feature that has been around since Facebook's early days, has made a surprising resurgence with a 13x spike in use, particularly among younger users. Mark Zuckerberg seemed to celebrate its return, and the feature is now easier to find and use. Poking sends a notification to friends and is only available on Facebook, not on other Meta-owned services. To poke someone, you can visit the pokes page and search for a friend, or use the Facebook app.
