WhatsApp has actively been testing its new Polls feature, which is currently rolled out to beta users. This new feature allows any group member to share polls with other participants to get their opinion on any topic or subject, like your next weekend movie plan, a long-distance trip, or anything else. As of now, it allows for adding up to twelve options in each poll, which will likely increase with future updates.

  2. Next, choose the Polls option and enter the title and associated poll options to generate the poll and send it.
  3. Finally, press View Votes to view poll results in the WhatsApp group.

Create and Add Polls in your WhatsApp Group using a Chat Bot
