View your face book Pokes: Before the advent of dating apps, Facebook poke was a means users used to get the attention of each other. For many, it was considered a form of harmless flirtation, and an expression of interest.

The recipient of the poke will know you’re interested in some way, but nothing beyond that. They might respond if they are interested, they might not. But, regardless, poking was a way for a user to let their interest be known.

As Facebook grew, the poking function began loosing its usefulness, until the Facebook “poke became ridiculously ironic to its original use where people would “poke” each other for the sake of being funny. The Facebook 'poke' function, is no longer common, and is rarely used these days.


How to view pokes.

• Open Facebook and Log in. 
• Tap ☰. It’s near the top-right corner of the screen, inside a white bar. 
• Tap See All at the bottom of the “Apps” list. This expands the list to include other options, including Pokes. If you already saw Pokes in the Apps list, you should skip this step. 
• Tap Pokes. It has a round blue icon with a pointing index finger. A list of people who’ve poked you appears near the top of the list, while people Facebook thinks you should Poke appear beneath “Suggested Pokes.” 

If “Suggested Pokes” is at the top of the list, you haven’t received any new pokes.

After you have viewed your pokes, Facebook suggests a list of people they feel you may want to poke, and if you would want to poke the, then you can. You can also choose to ignore a poke, and Facebook doesn't allow a person to poke you more than once, whom you haven't replied his/her poke.
