Today’s quick tech tip….
Q&A: How can I see who has ‘poked’ me on Facebook?
Question from Rema: Where do I look for the list of people who have poked me on Facebook? They used to have a “Pokes” button but they’ve removed it.
I know you can still poke people though because my friends poke me all the time. The thing is I can’t always respond to all the pokes as they come in.
Rick’s answer: This is an easy one, Rema. Just follow the steps below for the device you use to access Facebook.
If you use Facebook in a web browser:
Sign into your Facebook account and click this link:
https://www.facebook.com/pokes
If you use the Facebook mobile app:
1 – Tap the magnifying glass icon at the top of the screen and type the word pokes into the search box.
2 – Tap Pokes to display a list of all of your pending pokes.
