WhatsApp had been testing a new poll feature for its messaging application. It had been previously reported that the messaging platform is working on a new feature which allows users to make polls in group chats. The feature has now officially begun to be made available to users all across the world. One can quickly access the newly added feature after updating the application to the latest version.

The WhatsApp application’s stable version now includes the poll feature, which was previously only available in the beta version. Both group chats and one-on-one personal conversations support the feature. Speaking of the feature and how it functions, it has up to 12 options to include. This implies that a single poll can have up to 12 different options. However, one has the option to add fewer alternatives if one chooses. A poll can only be made and posted if there are at least two alternatives.

When it comes to voting, each user is free to select any number of options. The user can also be able to select just one option. There are no limitations on the user’s ability to change the choice they made, they can change the option they had voted for any time before the poll ends. So that’s how the new poll feature for the WhatsApp messaging service will operate.

Open the WhatsApp app and go to a group chat or an individual chat to start a poll. Now, if you’re using an Android device, click the “attachment” button, and if you’re using an iOS device, click the “+” icon. Find the Poll option now, then hit the button. After typing your question in the “Ask Question” section and including voting options, post it, you’re done!
