Two ways to create polls on WhatsApp
Although WhatsApp does not launch its native feature to create polls, there are more creative and simple apps or ideas that can be used. Check out two very simple ideas below that can be very efficient.
Use emoji reactions
With the use of emojis, you can create polls on WhatsApp in a very practical way. The app lets you react to messages with any emoji on your phone, which can work to your advantage when setting up polls. See how this is possible:
- Send a message with rules for voting and use emoji to represent each option (caption in the text);
- In this way, people in the group need to react to the message using one of the exposed emojis;
- Finally, you can click on the pictures, see who reacted to each subtitled emoji and count everything at the end.
Use Google Forms
To add more functionality to your poll, you can create it on an external platform and share it on WhatsApp for people to respond. With Google Forms, you can develop forms with different response options and get quick results.
When you finish your order, choose the share icon and send the link to your WhatsApp group members. Using the form engine, you can create more complete polls and send them to more than one group at once. There are similar alternatives to Google Forms such as SurveyMonkey and Microsoft Forms.
Creating poll feature by WhatsApp
A new update, bringing the platform to version 22.21.0.70, was sent via WhatsApp to users early last month through the TestFlight beta program. For some beta testers, one of the new features is the ability to create and share a poll with friends and family.
