Facebook Releases Poke — A Snapchat-Like Messenger — For IPhone
After rumors of Facebook launching a timed messaging service similar to Snapchat swirled, the social network Friday officially announced Poke — an iPhone application where users can send messages, photos, videos, or pokes that expire in seconds.
With Poke, currently available just for the iPhone,
Facebook users can send friends a poke (long a hallmark of the social
network) or a message that disappears in one, three, five, or 10
seconds.
After the chosen time, the message will erase itself from the phone.
To see a message from a friend, press and hold it until it expires.
Should an inappropriate or vulgar message appear, users can click the
gear menu to report it.

London: Despite the news that Snapchat’s self-destructing videos can be
saved and the release of a rival version by Facebook, the
video-messaging app Snapchat has become more popular than ever.
Snapchat users can specify the lifespan of their picture and video messages, but once opened none can last longer than 10 seconds within the app.
Now the service is being hailed as one of the top apps for 2013, in large part because it gained widespread popularity among teenagers with smartphones before gaining media attention.
