| WhatsApp develops group polls feature |
WhatsApp is working on a new feature that allows users to create polls via group chats.
The world's most used messaging service is currently working on some features that haven't been shown to beta testers, including the ability to reply to certain messages with emojis.
Group voting is currently available for other messaging services such as Messenger and Telegram. But it looks like it might be coming to WhatsApp via an upcoming version.
WABetaInfo has discovered the new and ongoing feature for group voting in the latest beta version of WhatsApp for iOS.
But even with the latest beta version of WhatsApp for iOS, users cannot enjoy the feature because it is currently under development.
WABetaInfo shared a screenshot showing the process of adding a new survey to a group via WhatsApp for iOS, giving users an idea of what the feature will look like when it is rolled out.
According to an image shared by WABetaInfo, the platform will prompt users to enter a survey question if they want to add a new group survey.
WhatsApp wants to make decision making easier
Since the feature is still in development, it is unclear if the platform might require users to add a survey option at a later time.
It's unclear if group administrators can change survey options. And when the vote is negative or how many voting options can be added.
As with messages, attachments, and calls made via WhatsApp, the new group voting feature appears to be secured through end-to-end encryption.
This is to ensure that only group participants can see the survey and results.
The feature is discovered through the platform's iOS app. But you should visit the Android platform app and desktop later.
Messaging services like Messenger and Telegram currently offer the ability to add group voting. This allows users to make quick decisions within the group.
Group polls can also be useful in individual group discussions. They can also help organize answers to questions like b. When choosing between different options for a place.
It is not clear when the feature will be available to WhatsApp users. This feature is subject to change during development before it is released to all users.
