Where is poke button on facebook

Why did Facebook bring back the poke!? But the Poke had never been shut off for good — it was just tucked away in the navigation.

The company has been testing a new series of greetings including hello, high-fiving, hugging, and winking, in addition to the Poke, The Next Web recently discovered. The idea with Greetings is to offer Facebook users more ways to reach out to friends, beyond posting to their profiles, commenting and direct messaging. You can only Poke a person once before they Poke you back, so it's not possible to spam people like this.

If it rolls out more widely, you'll see the Poke button next to the message button under a person's name on their profile page. What's more, Facebook appears to be turning pokes into greetings , much like it changed the 'like' into a series of reactions.
