Wondering how to wave on Facebook? Check out this simple tutorial on how to use this fun function!
Waving on Facebook is simple! Once you’ve friended someone on Facebook, you will be able to wave to them on the Messenger app, as well as in Chat. You can wave to them initially, or choose to wave back to them.
However, this won’t work if you’ve been blocked, so be certain that this is someone who wants to communicate with you! Once you’ve made a new friend who is now in your friend list these easy steps will help you on desktop and on mobile.

How To Wave on Facebook Desktop
You can easily use the wave feature while on the desktop site. Just follow these easy steps!
Step 1: Log In
Open up your browser, and log into your Facebook account. Once you’re on your News Feed, go to the right of your screen and see the Contacts menu. You will see the name of your new friend, as well as the option to message them.
Step 2: Messaging the Wave
Click on your newly connected contact in the messenger option. You will then open a chat with them and have the choice to click on the Wave icon. Click it and it will send it to your new Facebook friend.
Step 3: If You Haven’t Updated Facebook
The most recent update of Facebook doesn’t allow you to wave at friends via the contacts on the right of your News Feed. However, if you haven’t updated to the newest version, you can see who is active on your Contacts section to the right of your screen. Hold your cursor over their name and a grey hand will appear. Click on the grey hand and you can wave at active friends!
Step 4: Select an Emoji
If you have updated your desktop Facebook site, then you can still message your friends a wave emoji. Simply go to your emoji options, then click the Wave (a small hand with motion lines on the top and left side).
All things considered, it’s quite easy to wave to new friends. However, if you’ve updated your desktop to the newest version, you won’t be able to wave at people who are already on your friends list. They’ve already seen your profile, and will not be able to wave on messenger app.
