Facebook stalkers - beware. There's a new feature that's leaving some users in awkward situations.

The new feature is called the "Hello" button and is designed to send a virtual wave. Users complain that you can easily click on it by accident, which is embarrassing if you do it while secretly looking up your ex.

The feature began rolling out in June, but it's still in a trial phase.
