21 years later, Meta still hasn't given up on the Facebook 'poke'


Meta wants poking to make a comeback on Facebook for some reason.

The company is making the storied feature easier to find by adding pokes back to user profiles in the Facebook app, according to a post it shared on Instagram. Mark Zuckerberg said earlier this year he wants to bring back more "OG" Facebook features like… being able to find content posted by your actual friends. Meta has also been on a years-long mission to win over"young adults," so it might see the jokey feature as a way to appeal to a generation used to taking their Snap streak extremely seriously.
