Step 1: Log in to your Facebook Account
The first thing you need to do is open Facebook in your web browser and log in to your account using your username and password. Once you are logged in, you will be directed to your Facebook News Feed.
Step 2: Access Facebook Settings
In the top-right corner of the Facebook page, you’ll find a small downward-pointing arrow. Click on this arrow to open a dropdown menu, then select “Settings” from the list.
Step 3: Navigate to the Privacy Settings
On the left-hand side of the Facebook Settings page, you will find a column with different options. Look for and click on the “Privacy” option, which is represented by a lock icon.
Step 4: Manage Your Privacy Settings
Under the Privacy settings, you will see several options. Find and click on the “Edit” link next to “Who can poke you?”
- A dropdown menu will appear, showing different options for who can send you pokes.
- Select “Nobody” from the list to disable the ability for anyone to poke you.
Step 5: Save Your Changes
After selecting “Nobody” as the option, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the “Save Changes” button to save your new settings.
Step 6: Confirm Your Choice
A popup window will appear, asking you to confirm your choice to disable pokes. Read the message and make sure you understand the consequences of disabling pokes. If you still want to proceed, click on the “Turn Off Pokes” button.
Step 7: Enjoy Your Poke-Free Facebook Experience
Congratulations! You have successfully disabled Facebook Pokes on your account. From now on, you will no longer receive pokes from anyone, and the poke feature will be disabled for your profile.
Remember, disabling pokes is reversible. If you change your mind in the future, you can follow the same steps and select a different option from the dropdown menu in step 4.
