- Facebook is significantly updating its 'Poke' feature, first introduced over two decades ago, to make it a more central part of the platform.
- The revamp aims to attract younger users and reintroduce 'OG' (original gangster) features to improve connections between friends.
- Users will now be able to see who has poked them and their 'Pokes-count' with friends on a dedicated page.
- This move follows a 13x spike in 'Poke' usage noted by Facebook last year, indicating a resurgence in the feature's popularity.
- Mark Zuckerberg stated his intention to bring back joyful, original Facebook experiences that are currently missing from the internet.
