Polls on WhatsApp channels
According to a WABetaInfo report, WhatsApp recently sent a new update through the TestFlight beta program, bringing the version to WhatsApp beta on 10/24/76. This update includes a feature that allows users to create polls on WhatsApp channels!
For the uninitiated, WhatsApp Channels is a one-way broadcasting tool that admins can use to send text, photos, videos, stickers, and polls. It allows users to receive important updates from people and organizations they want to follow. And with the latest WhatsApp beta update, developers have introduced a new way for admins to interact with their followers. By sharing polls on WhatsApp channels, users can get feedback and opinions directly from followers.
WhatsApp channel owners can also limit polls to a single choice by disabling the multiple answer option. Polls on WhatsApp channels only show the total number of votes without revealing who voted for which poll, which may prevent user privacy and make it a trusted mode.
According to a WABetaInfo report, the feature to share polls in channels is available to some beta testers who install WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app, and will roll out to more people in the coming days.
