What Are Pokes?

Pokes are simple attention-getters. Unlike hints (which carry emotions), pokes just say "hey, I'm here!" or "noticed you!" They're lighter and more playful.

When to Poke

  • When you want to say "hey" without a full message
  • To get your partner to check the app
  • When you notice someone nearby and want to make contact
  • Just for fun!

How It Works

  1. Find someone on the radar or in your connections
  2. Tap the poke button
  3. They receive a notification that they were poked

Poke Back

When someone pokes you, you can poke them back! It's a fun way to acknowledge each other without needing to start a full conversation.
