According
to a latest source, Social networking site Facebook has launched a new
app which erases pictures and messages within 10 seconds of being sent.
This ‘Facebook Poke’ allows users to send brief messages, pokes, photos and 10-second videos to friends. These messages are said to expire after a set period of time, from 1 to 10 seconds, and cannot be retrieved by either party again.
If things are to be believed, while using the app, if a user chooses from a set of icons at the bottom of the screen to send a poke, type a 120-character message or open the camera to snap a picture then user cannot choose an existing photo - or shoot a 10-second video.
Announcing the app the site reportedly said that “With the Poke app, you can poke or send a message, photo, or video to Facebook friends to share what you're up to in a lightweight way,"
It has been said that the new app is similar to Snapchat, an app which is popular with younger age users, and which has gained a reputation as a tool for sending risqué images.
This way Facebook is encouraging users to report inappropriate messages.
