Creating a poll on WhatsApp is a straightforward process that lets you get quick input from your contacts. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open the WhatsApp Chat:
- Launch the WhatsApp application on your phone.
- Navigate to the individual or group chat where you want to create the poll.
2. Access the Attachment Menu:
- Look for the attachment icon next to the chat textbox.
- On Android devices, it’s a paperclip icon.
- On iPhones, it’s a plus (+) symbol.
3. Select “Poll”:
- In the attachment menu options, tap on the “Poll” icon. It usually resembles a bar chart.
4. Craft Your Poll:
- Under “Question,” enter the clear and concise question you want to ask in your poll.
5. Add Answer Options:
- Below the question, you’ll see options to enter your answer choices. By default, there are two options, but you can add up to twelve.
6. Organize Options (Optional):
- Tap and hold the four horizontal lines beside each option to drag and reorder them if needed.
7. Allow Multiple Votes (Optional):
- By default, users can only vote for one option. If you want them to choose multiple options, toggle the “Allow Multiple Answers” switch on.
8. Send the Poll:
- Once everything is set, tap “Send” on Android or the send arrow icon on iPhone to share the poll with the chat participants.
9. View Results:
