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
- Find someone on the radar or in your connections
- Tap the poke button
- 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.
