WhatsApp Polls: how to create and send group questions
Sending polls on WhatsApp is super easy. Thanks to the latest update, the application has added the function of creation of polls. Polls are a question-and-answer system that simplifies discussions. In general they are very useful when it comes to managing important decisions, such as a group vacation, where to go to eat, what food to order, which board game to play and more. The survey system can also be very useful within workgroups to manage shifts, projects and more.
The poll on WhatsApp is present in the menu placed inside the "+" symbol or the paper clip, depending on whether your operating system is iOS or Android respectively. Like any other attachment, a contact, a location, a document or an image, the action of creating the survey is located within the drop-down menu. To be able to create a poll just click on the logo of the horizontal graph that indicates the survey, compose it and finally send it.
How the survey works on WhatsApp: the step by step explanation
To create a survey you must first click on the "+" or on the paperclip. Once you have clicked on the survey tick, the survey creation window will appear in the drop-down menu. In the first empty space, enter the "question" and then, under the word "options" you can add up to 12 answers to choose from.
The three sidebars are used to move the answers. With a light pressure, in fact, they allow you to drag and sort the possible options for choosing the survey. Once the survey has been written, it can be sent.
Once sent, the survey will appear as a normal message. This will show the number of people who have responded and clicking on ’show votes’ will open the ’survey details’ window. Under each of the answers you can read the name of the person who took part in the survey and chose that option, with the respective response time.
