The developers of TikTok have released a new nudge button on the app and people are not loving it. 

*Nudge - means to nudge someone gently with your elbow to get their attention.

TikTok's nudge feature appeared on the app last summer, but has only recently started rolling out to more users, although it's still in testing.

The option is pretty much like the "poke" of old on Facebook, where you "teas" someone to get their attention. Here 's a video on how to activate the option, if it's already arrived on your TikTok.

Apparently, the nudge feature wasn't as successful as the developers at TikTok had hoped, and it's likely because people aren't sure how it works. Even those who know, it is not that they are very enthusiastic about the idea.
