While WhatsApp is currently making various optimizations, the company is also working on brand new features, including the ability to create polls in group chats.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like WABetainfo reported<\/a>, the poll feature is currently still under development, which means that it cannot even be tried out by public beta testers for now. In a screenshot, the blog shows that it will be possible to start a poll within a WhatsApp group. WABetaInfo notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poll function in WhatsApp groups to come<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Thanks to polls, you can ask a question and other people can vote on the answer. Note that polls will only be available in WhatsApp groups and that they are end-to-end encrypted - even your answers! So only people in the group can see the poll and the results.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It is still unclear how WhatsApp will handle this new feature. Whether there will be a limit on responses, how long people will have to vote, or how many polls can be created at the same time. We will probably get the answers to these questions in the coming weeks and months. As soon as we find out more, we will of course report back as always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
