"Give a tap" on Facebook What is it? What is it for?

As regular users of Facebook, surely on some occasion we will have asked ourselves What is a tap on Facebook?What is this option available in the profile of each user for?
Well, today we will try to clarify this common question, based on the official information given by its creators.

Since its inception, Facebook, in its English version, already had this option called «Poke»And the description on it told us the following:

“A poke is a way to interact with your friends on Facebook. When we created the poke, we thought it would be cool to have a feature without any specific purpose. People interpret the poke in many different ways, and we encourage you to come up with your own meanings. "

The Spanish translation would be:

“A poke is a way to interact with your friends on Facebook. When we created poke, we thought it would be a fun idea to have a function with no special purpose. People interpret it in different ways, and we want you to do it too and give it your own meanings. "

In that sense, we can understand that its function is not specific, it does not have a specific purpose, but depends on the objective that each user wants to give it, the interpretation depends on each one.
However, it is commonly used to get the attention of a friend, for the purpose of visiting our profile. Making an analogy with Messenger it would be something like 'send a buzz‘,

Tell us, have you already used «Give a touch«? What do you think it is for?
