How To Create A Poll On Whatsapp

How to Create a WhatsApp Poll

The option to create a poll is available in both group and individual chats on WhatsApp. While it doesn’t make much sense in one-to-one conversations, the feature is quite fun nonetheless. With that said, let’s find out how you can create a poll on WhatsApp.

Method 1: Create a WhatsApp Poll on Android and iPhone

While WhatsApp is different on Android and iPhone, the steps to create a poll remain largely similar with minor changes. I have addressed these differences and outlined the steps for you. Take a look:
With that, your WhatsApp poll will be live for everyone to vote upon in a group or chat.

Method 2: Create a Poll on WhatsApp Web

If you’re accessing WhatsApp through a web browser or using the dedicated Desktop app for Windows and Mac instead, creating a Poll is similar to how you’d do it on the mobile app.
Once you send a poll, there’s no way to edit the poll. So, if you feel that you’ve made an error, simply delete the poll like you’d do with a normal WhatsApp message, and recreate another one. That’s it, you have successfully created a poll on WhatsApp Web, and now you can start conducting the votes and seeing its results.

How to Vote in a WhatsApp Poll

Now that you have created a poll, some of you may be a bit confused about how you can cast your votes in this WhatsApp poll. Well, the answer is pretty straightforward.
To vote on a WhatsApp poll, just tap on the checkbox next to the option you want to choose. This method works for both, mobile and the web version of the app.

How to See Results of a WhatsApp Poll

Once you have received a sufficient number of votes, you can tap the View votes button at the bottom of your Poll to see the result. It also allows you to see who voted for the available options. Comes in extra handy for a bigger WhatsApp Group.
WhatsApp Polls have quite a few underrated use cases, from turning them into interactive games for the group to maybe even figuring out your partner better. Won’t give you any further ideas and ask for trouble. Play around with the feature to know its ins and outs better. With that being said, do let me know in the comments if you run into any issues. I’ll be more than happy to get back to you.
