The feature of 'poke' friends on Facebook, once popular in the early stages of this social network, is showing signs of a strong return. According to statistics from Facebook, the number of times using this feature has increased 13 times in the past month, mainly coming from the group of young users aged 18 - 29.
Compared to the plethora of modern features on Facebook, 'poking' seems simple and even a bit strange. However, it is this simplicity and direct interaction that creates the attraction for the nostalgic trend of teasing friends.
Previously, 'poking' was just a simple way to attract the attention of friends on Facebook. However, over time, this feature gradually disappeared and was hidden by Facebook.
Now, Facebook has made some improvements to the 'poke' feature. Users can now poke friends right from a private page and be suggested suitable friends to interact with.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed his joy at seeing the "poking" trend becoming popular again on Facebook and declared that the world is "healing" sadness.
Whatever the reason for the return of the friend teasing feature, Facebook shows that it is always looking for ways to innovate and attract users. This social networking platform is trying to combine old features with new experiences to meet the needs of different generations of users.
It can be said that 'poke' is a symbol of Facebook in the early stages of development. The return of this feature can evoke beautiful memories and create new experiences for users, especially the younger generation.
