"We've activated Safety Check again after the bombing in Nigeria," CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post. "A loss of human life anywhere is a tragedy, and we're committed to doing our part to help people in more of these situations."
At least 32 people have been killed and 80 injured in a night-time suicide bomb attack by Islamist extremists in the North-East of Nigeria.
The late-night attack by the group on a truck stop in Yola, Adamawa state, was the first terrorist attack since October when a spate of bombings killed 42 people and injured more than 100.
Bloom Gist corespondent in the area said most of the victims of the attack were street sellers and passers-by.
The Deputy Superintendent Othman Abubakar, the police spokesman for Adamawa confirmed the report.
"The enemies of humanity will never win. Hand in hand, we will rid our land of terrorism," Nigeria's defiant President Muhammadu Buhari said in a tweet.
The Islamist militant group has been waging a violent uprising in Nigeria since 2009 in an attempt to establish an Islamic State, or caliphate, in the north east.
Boko Haram declared a caliphate in Gwoza in March and a sharp rise in attacks this year has brought the number of people forced to flee the group's insurgency to 2.1 million.
Some 20,000 people have been killed in the six-year-old Islamic uprising.
