Facebook: Nudge - here's how the feature works

Facebook offers its users a feature that makes contacting them even easier. Instead of writing a message to initiate the first contact with new or even old friends, you can simply nudge Facebook friends.

Nudge Facebook: How it works

The nudge feature is used to remember old friends or meet new people without being intrusive. If sometimes the right words are missing, nudging can be very useful.

1. First, open the Facebook website and log in with your account.
2. Using the search bar, now enter the name of the desired person and get to the respective Facebook profile.
3. In the last step, first click on the button "..." and now select "Nudge".
4. The nudge was successful, once a window opens automatically.

Here you will be informed that you have nudged the friend.
