Facebook Poke

Since a few days ago Facebook has one more application in the market for smartphones It is a peculiar tool called Facebook Poke, intended to share contentwith our contacts from the social network The key is that this content is self-destruct or self-deleteafter a certain period of time. A good way to prevent recipients of these contents from reproducing or sharing them without our consent

Facebook Poke imitates the operation of Snapchat, the application best known that allows you to select a viewing time before removing the image from the receiver's terminal A very famous tool thanks to sexting or sending hot photos that gives the user the certainty that the recipient will not save such images However, we must not lose sight of the possibility of making a screenshot or screenshotto save what is currently on the screen.

In this case, Facebook has further developed the idea and possibilities of Snapchat Thus, you have used your messaging service to have all our contacts from the social network in this new application by simply entering the user dataWith it we can give touches or alerts to these contacts to let them know that we think of them. In addition, it gives the opportunity to share text messages, photos or videos with the mentioned feature of self-destructWe explain how below.

After installing and starting the application we will have a list of contacts to start talking, just how it works Facebook Messenger The difference comes in the bar at the bottom of the screen, where we must select the content we want send: a touch, a message, a photo or a video When choosing the desired one we only have to choose the recipient(s) by selecting them on the list The application itself allows us to take the capture or the recording, giving us the opportunity to add a text message in these elements or even draw whatever in the case of images.Before sending we find a menu in the upper central part with the timer: one, three, five or ten secondsare the options that we can select before pressing send

In a few seconds the recipient receives the notification that they have a new message. He must press on the conversation and keep his finger in contact with the screen during the selected time in order to view the content. When this time is up the content disappears It is most curious that Facebook has thought of the problem of the screenshots mentioned above. Thus, if a clever user decides to take a screenshot of any received content, the application will let the sender know with the alarm icon on the conversation.Something that does not prevent the content from being disseminated, but does know who has started the distribution

The app Facebook Poke is fully downloadable free at via App Store For now only available for the mobile of Apple, the iPhone, although it is hoped that it will soon reach Android , although for now no information has been given in this regard.
